Starr Vaughn Show

yay! on Saturday went to Starr Vaughn equestrian center (SVE) and it was the biggest show i have ever been to! it was on Halloween so they had Halloween jumps and many other people were dressed up for Halloween. they also had costume contest but i didn't stay long enough for that. Any way i got there on Friday and rode him, so he could see all the jumps and things like that. then i put him to bed ( i got a stall there) and went to Alex's grandmas house who lives 5 min. nearby. i woke up at 5:45 headed out the door to SVE. Lunged stitch, and got on. Luckily for me they started late so i actually had time to warm-up. then i did my first class: Rookie Rider (walk and trot overall) i ended up 3 out of 6? or maybe 7.... then i rode a little more and did my second class (walk and trot pleasure-judged on the horse; how well he moves, is on the bit....) and i got 6th out of 13 which was great considering there was soo many cute pony's. then i untacked stitched (i had a little break) and got to rest. then i did my crossbar class (little jumps) and got 6 out of around 16! then i did my 2 foot class. he was perfect (except he made a rail fall down, i didnt wear my show coat because i thought i was just going in as practice because i was trotting and you really have to canter to qualify, AND i trotted it.) usually that like automaticly puts you at the end of the list, but apparently i got 5th!!! out of like 16 again.... i have no idea how it happened but..... oh well! its good :)

i was very happy about the weekend and am looking forward to going to more shows!
