This weekend was a blast! There is just something about competing against a clock, and knowing how you did, that just...well...rocks!
Yesterday finished up the jumper show, would have preferred being at Poplar, but just didn't have the funding this time. So we did the next best thing, and found a jumper show, with money! Yahoo!
Yesterday was another winner take all class, and at the end, Missy came home the winner. Out of six classes, 5 blues, two championships, and both classics won. ALSO she received the Jumper Style award of the show. The judge, who hadn't talked all day, had her stay in the arena, and commented that speed kills, but executing turns that no one else could or did, wins. Missy had a big grin on her face till bedtime. She said that was the best award she received. Better then the check, trophy, or ribbons. She came out and just kept saying, look what dressage has done for us. And it was true. I had so much fun, watching her have fun. Even fellow competitors, and trainers were clapping for her and saying fun things! It was way cool!
To top it of, our working student, April, in her first jumper show, took home champion! Pictures to follow soon of the girls, and their wins.
Codi also got into the action, showing Prince in walk. We don't push her to ride, and in fact hope she choose a much different path...look for Dr. Codi in 20 years. She keeps telling us she is going to be an FEI Vet! The girl definitely knows what she is all about! She took two seconds, and won the over poles class.
It's a brilliant day here in Florida, and horse family, feel free to come visit this winter!!
