Schooling Horse Show

Yesterday was Kaleigh's first show of the season. She woke up bright and early at 6:30 am and we headed out to the farm. She scrubbed Pride till he sparkled.





Then, we loaded him in the trailer and headed out. I was very nervous, as this was the the first time I had trailered a horse. Bonnie (the horse trainer) followed us to the show and said that I did very well. Pheeww! I must say I learned a lot. I learned the proper way to tie a hay bag. I learned that when trailering one horse, you always load and tie them on the left. I learned how to tie a quick release knot.


Kaleigh ready and waiting for her class to be called.


There were four kids in her Western Equitation and Pleasure classes.


Kaleigh won two first place ribbons, one in Western Equitation and one in Western Pleasure. She also placed fourth in the trail class.

It was a long and tiring day. We ended up leaving the show by 12:30pm but didn't get home till 3pm. It took almost two hours to unload everything and clean up, but it was a GREAT day!
