Day 1:
It was quite a weekend at the show. It started out slow on Saturday with me getting a 2 point penalty. YIKES. Linda and Charlie got there first score and Sue and Cinch got a score in there first class of the year. Andrea and her horse Buckey had 2 great rides and Ty had a great ride on Brake marking a 70.
Day 2:
It was a great day, as we all improved by leaps and bounds with our trainer Ty making sure we were all on point. Sue and Cinch were the first to go starting the day with a solid 66 run. Next up was Linda and Charlie who’s ride marked a 66.5. Andrea and Buckey marked an impressive 69.5 in the rookie class and Sue and Cinch had an exceptional schooling run.
Novice horse class was next where Brake and I marked a 70 winning the nh2. Last class of the day for our group was the Non-Pro where Dually proved he can do it marking a 71 and winning the Masters and the Prime Time.
A special Thank you to Ty for helping make this happen. Can’t wait till our next show.
