August long weekend show part 2

I'm a looser and have no more photos.  I seriously need a photographer to follow me around and record these moments at horseshows.

So we did halter and got 6th, it was ok but I'm not sure why none of the judges like her in halter.  Heck her legs are amazing compared to Lucas' and he won a lot!  Our showmanship was a write off after I forgot I was supposed to walk after our 180 instead of trot *sigh*

Our next class was english equitation, our pattern was good, our transitions were very accurate and we won the class!  Lucy's first red ribbon in an english class.  We also did the hunter under saddle class and Road Hack where we got second in both.

The afternoon classes started with trail which Lucy would have won but we destroyed the first cone, and got knocked down to 3rd. We got 3rd in our horsemanship class, and then a disappointing 5th in our pleasure class.  Lucy was tired by this point and so was I and I didn't keep my legs on her enough and she broke at the jog.  However at least at this show I was able to adjust her stride at the lope one handed and keep her going so things are improving.

The high light of the show was that we had earned enough points to win Reserve High Point Senior!  This was my first all around reserve since I was diagnosed so it was a really happy moment for me, and I was so pleased with how far Lucy has come in 4 months.

C and D are away this week with some of the kids at a week long show, so I'm doing night chores this week.  Next week will consist of riding every night, then 2 weeks from tomorrow we're off for mine and Lucy's last show a whole week at the local fair with 3 days of showing.  It will be the first time I've gone since I was 17 so it should be fun!
