Bestie back in her jumping days. This was her second show with us and she seemed to think the cross rail was actually a three-foot fence!
Dude always loved horse shows. You could tell he was just so happy with the door open so he could check out all the goings-on. This shot shows preparations for a 4H costume class: Dude as a garden (involving flowers in his hair and a garden complete with "stepping stones" on a cotton sheet) and Katie as a gardener. Fun stuff.
Today she rode and he looked really good. An earlier post mentioned what seemed like a hind end problem, but he looked perfectly sound today at the canter and trot. In fact, I thought his trot today looked amazing, a nice slow Western jog in good form. Maybe he is getting back into shape now that she's been home over a month.
Someone had put lots of poles down in different configurations in the arena, so I got on Bestie and rode around at the walk over the poles for a little bit. Then we went around the field to end the ride... always nice and you can tell the horses like getting out of the arena. We may swap horses tomorrow for a ride.
