In the rush of everything, I never really did talk about Buddy's first horse trials earlier this month, other than to say that all survived.
It was actually a little better than that. I just downloaded the Christmas pictures and the horse trial pictures were in the same batch. (I didn't take many pictures because I was too busy holding my breath.)
They had a good dressage test and were in first place, in spite of some slightly less than circular circles. Here's Buddy listening to what the judge had to say afterwards.
Here's Buddy noticing the lady who feeds him, who is also holding the camera. That Buddy is my biggest fan.
Notice the blue ribbon on the boot. Very exciting.
Lily and Buddy went to that same farm last Saturday to ride with friends. Wouldn't you know it? When they were schooling in the stadium jumping ring, Buddy refused the coop and Lily fell off. So glad he waited two weeks for that little performance.
Some days he's good. Some days he's not. Timed it just right that time.
Blue Ribbon!! WOOT!!
great photos :)
