Our riders -- young and old(er) -- all had a great time at the Gymkhana event. We are looking forward to this Sunday and the Spring Show. Linda is finalizing horse assignments and it looks like we will have a big group of riders. If you want to ride and haven't let Linda know, please do before Wednesday.
Zeus was fabulous for his first show. Really did stay chill. Buck gets rarin' to go at the site of the barrels but had an experienced rider (see pic ... ) who was able to control him and it sure looked like fun. Made me realize I have to do quite a few more lessons though before I can ride Buck in an event!! Reno was the most out of character -- seemed very distracted by all the activity. His rider, although a beginner in his first event, did a tremendous job of staying focused and brought home quite a few ribbons. And, Hercules was his dependable and wonderful self. Really did a great job.
Thanks to all the parents, riders (those who rode and those who helped and cheered us on!) and fans -- and thanks to everyone who prayed for the rain to stay away. Unlike most of the area, we never had a drop. Now we have to start hoping for good weather and good humor for Sunday.
