The Spoils of Success





Ribbons in the youth class are as follows:
English Fitting and Horsemanship (halter class) ---> first place
English Equitation (judging the rider) ---> 4th place
English Pleasure (judging rider/horse interaction) ---> 4th place
English Show Hack ---> 2nd place
The big ribbon was them getting Reserve Show Champion for their classification

The show hack was a big surprise since it's basis goes back to the horse/rider being able to keep up with the dogs in the hunt. This class requires several different type of walk and trot gaits which Justine has never done. Once again, Winnie must have been listening to the announcer because she did them anyway.

Our goal was:
1. Justine and Winnie be safe
2. They have fun
3. Get experience and learn something

We did not care at all about rankings etc. Overall, mission very accomplished.
