So we went into the next class. We got though the first direction, and was ok. He was a bit behind the bridle but atleast we were ok, during the second canter he freeked so I ended up troting the rest of the class.
Disapointing but better it happened there than at the AQHA show.
Last night a local trainer came to do a 4-H clinic for the kids at our barn. I managed to get a lesson with her before the clinic for the kids started. I basicly was 'asking' him way too much so he was getting away with murder because he knew I wouldnt be getting after him. I also wasnt asking for enough hip when I was cantering and his lope wasnt as good because of it. We did a bit of showmanship as well working on keeping my hand further from my body and closer to the halter to keep my comands more consise.

Sounds like a productive show even though you were a bit disappointed. Like you said, better there than at the AQHA show, and now you know what to work on.
When's the next show? :)
