Grace's Horse Show

To say I am a proud mom would be an understatement! Yesterday, Grace participated in her first Horse Show. She competed in the Walk Only Equestrian Division which means that the horse walks in each class. Her division included three classes - Open Tack, 2-Point and Pattern.


For Open Tack, which is basically just walking the horse, she earned a red ribbon - 2nd place. For 2-Point, which is the riding pose in the above picture, she earned the blue ribbon - 1st place. She was so excited to get that blue ribbon that when she walked by David as she started the next class, she said "this is awesome!"

In her final class, Pattern which is weaving the horse through cones, she earned a white ribbon - 4th place. That surprised me a little because she had done so well in that during lessons. In any case, she had done really well for her first competition and the icing on the cake was when she was awarded Champion Reserve which is 2nd place overall in her divsion!
