So I did not write about our final show of the year which happened 3 weeks ago. I was so so very proud of Sonnet. Not once did she lose her shit, she was calm and relaxed and a true pro. This show was CRAZY!!! busy 5 rings hunter, jumper and dressage, plus warm up rings which were like a 3 ring circus and through it all she was fantastic.
We basically placed 7th out of 30 . The first judge loved us and was very fair the second judge has a very known prejudice against anything not bay and WB needless to say Spotty mare did not have a fan in her ha ha !! however she was forced to give us decent marks but refused on both tests to say a positive word. Oh well whatever !
So it was a great show to end on.
And the other news ....I am going to be taking jumping lessons .....yes you read correctly and yes we jumped once already over the weekend . Jumpers I had forgotten how hard it is to do !! I give you kudos ! lol lol . It was my trainers idea just to mix it up give her and me a little break and to have some fun ! I was terrifed at first and after the first few I started to remember so to speak and had a lot of fun as did Miss Sonnet. I have been lent a stunningly nice CC saddle which makes me feel like a million bucks ha !
OK so this is the Pro pics website we are pictures 315 - 339
