Show results.

Saturday Moon and I had our first show of the season. We were on the road early and got to the show right on time. It was a little chilly, but at least it wasn't snowing!

After getting there pretty early we found out that our dressage ride time wasn't until 1:42. So, we had a little time to kill. I helped set up the jumping course and checked out the puppies someone had brought to the show to sell. (No, we didn't buy one, as cute as they were!)

We finally tacked up, and Moon was a little energetic after waiting around all morning, and stepped on my foot pretty hard. It took a couple of minutes of recovery after that before I could make myself put on my show boots. Anyway, we ended up with a score of 31 in dressage, it was our best test ever.
(My trainer told me I was allowed to gloat over the dressage test, so I guess in a way that's what I'm doing here!)

Jumping went pretty well, and despite having the best dressage score we dropped a few places and got fourth place overall. I was really proud of Moon, especially his dressage effort!

We had been in a dressage clinic the day before, and I think it really helped both of us.

Our next show is in June. I feel like we're off to a great start for the year!

Oh, and by the way, thank you richard, for buying the saddle. Happy riding!

you know, I always love looking at horses, it seems to me they (and those huge cats) are the most graceful animals on Earth... but I am a bit afraid of them:( I would love to come closer and even have a ride but when I see that a horse is so much bigger than me I can do nothing with my fear:(((
