For me it was the first time since last fall, for Chilly it was the first time ever! She was awesome, just as good as she is in western, and so much like her momma Lucy. Slow motion rising trot. She's never going to make much of an English horse, but it adds more classes, and will keep her busy at the next show so she doesn't have to stand around and wait as much.
I wish I could have gotten some pictures but I'm borrowing my moms iPad, and although it takes great pictures I'm scared to take it to the barn incase I break it by accident!

Home from show number two.
Which got rain delayed by tropical storm Arthur. Chilly was great, she's a bit fussy with the bit again, feels like she has another cap coming loose, but she's broke enough now that we're going to try a bosal on her this week to see if she likes it before the show in two weeks.
Other wise she was great, nailed her showmanship, decent in the horsemanship (see above bit issue) and perfect in the pleasures classes. We won both our walk trot pleasure classes, showmanship and 3rd in horsemanship.
She also had her first ride outside of an arena, in the field next to our outdoor, and other than her trying to eat grass she was really good. Her only major downfall is her lack of patience while waiting for her next class. She rather be moving or eating. She thinks standing and resting is a waste of time.
