I am so very tired...horse show yesterday...rather small, I think my biggest class was Discipline Rail, which was all ages, coming in at a whopping 13 people. Yes, yes.
Kicked ass in showmanship, I think, though the judge was weird and stood right in line with the cones, so walking my horse to her while having to keep my left shoulder to the line of cones...kinda impossible. Still got first though...
Then, bwahaha, first in horsemanship, because I kick horsemanship ass. Yeah, I'm gloating, but I do. Then first in the first egg and spoon class (we got to loping with the egg in the wrong hand, with only one stirrup...gahh) but they took away my money cause we weren't supposed to get any. *Hmph* Then egg and spoon for just the county, I got second to Kelsey, who, by the by, has never beat me in this class. ^_^ Stupid stopping from a canter. Then, uhh, either first or second in western pleasure, I can't remember. Switched clothes for discipline rail, cause english was right after...got either first or second or third, my god I can't remember...only one that could side step though. TEE HEE!
English Eq, I kind of almost ran over each cone twice, but never knocked em down...I think I was third, Kelsey deserved her first cause she kicked, major, and it was by far the best pattern I've ever seen her do. Then English pleasure I was 2nd, heh, again to Kelsey cause Bummer is rather anti-english, but everyone else missed a lead or something like that. Then, yay, back into jeans and my RENT t-shirt for barrels and poles...
Okay, Bummer is rather...old. 23. And slow. He's really slow. Kinda has short legs, too. But dangit, I felt like running barrels. Soo, on my lovely pleasure horse, I ran, prolly, a 25 second pattern. The winner was 17. I still got 4th *giggle.*
In poles, I think Bummer was pretty fast for, well, Bummer...we ran down, and instead of trotting through the poles like I was planning, he loped in and out of em, changing leads, doing more lateral passing than actual turning, like he knew what he was doing. It was pretty cute, and I got to spur him on as fast as I could. I don't know my time, but I did get 4th again. It all makes me laugh. (Mona was sitting by the rail, all deadpan 'Bummer you take my breath away.' And Kelsey had to go slow, so I would go crazy cheering her home. Then, of course, my lovely 'KELSEY! You're my IDOL!' every time she walked into the arena.) Then we packed up and went home, and I fell asleep around 10:30 watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Number one in the hood, jig.) Overall I think I made $30, but my dad is going to steal $15 of it. Hmph.
My Aunt Julie is coming over. *Dances* She's my favorite of my mom's siblings, and is just well she's just the bestest. She told my mom "I'm coming over to see your house, and your girls..........oh, and you, of course." *Huggles Aunt Julie*
