Local horse show

My daughter and I went to a local horse show this week-end. I participated in 3 hunter classes and 2 dressage tests. I was a little disappointed with how it went. Teddy had his feet trimmed only 5 days before so he was a little ouchy. I could not get him to canter on the hard footing in the jumping arena. And I was quite tired from all the preparation for the show the day before. So we were both a little off. We did have a lot of fun though. My daughter was a wonderful assistant. She took pictures, bought me the different whips in between classes and kept me hydrated. I hope next year she will be able to participate in a few classes too. But most importantly we confirmed that Teddy is our treasured family horse. He listened perfectly and was quiet and gentle. He has truly bonded with us. The three of enjoyed our time together on our little adventure to Hot August Hooves.
