We had a good day, Ill do a more detailed post tomorrow, but we did very well in some classes and did ok in others. We won halter and showmanship, had a disappointing run in the HUS stake class (too many horses, and a bunch of horses freaked out which caused a chain reaction which Lucas was part of). We did a decent pattern in the hunt seat equation (my first equation pattern in 6 years in an english saddle) and got a 3rd in decent company. We got 3rd in the Sr HUS but he was worried the entire class about several of the horses flying by him. I love the cost of the open shows but the behaviour of some of the other horses is questionable.
He's ok in a good group, that is well behaved but cant seem to handle other horses being out of controle. And we need to work on our canter transitions as he was raising his head during most of them... more than likely due to my new habbit of looking down to check his leads. However this weekend we got all of them right! Silly of both of us really, I should have known how I was asking incorrectly, and he knows how to get the right lead most of the time on his own.
