Well we had a very good day, three ribbons in 4 classes. He got 5th in Halter Geldings, 2nd in the HUS stake, and 2nd in showmanship. We didn't place in our sr HUS class due to him spooking at a noise, but we recovered well (which is almost more important!)
Im not sure what we are going to do about his kicking in the trailer. It wasn't too bad when we first got him (only when the trailer was sitting still and we were loading or unloading horses) now hes doing it all of the time no matter how long the ride is. He seems to do it no matter what type of trailer, size or how long the trip is any more. Thankfully this was the last show we had to trailer to. the last one is at our property.
So me and C had a little talk yesterday and she agreed with me that once the last show is over in September, Lucas will have his hind shoes pulled and he goes back out with "the herd". Right now the herd is out to pasture while the turnout paddocks are re-graded and re-fenced. Lucas has no respect for electric wire so hes stuck in privet until then anyways.
Im not sure what direction I want to take Lucas into. As much as I love the breed show format, Im board, and I don't really enjoy going in circles any more. Lucas doesnt like the pressure of the pressure of the pattern classes. Would dressage be better?
