For those old enough to remember the C&W show "Hee Haw", "salute" was one of their bits, but not to what we are referring to here. Jolene and Winnie are done after a respectable round. Winnie was energetic and extended her gaits and was pretty good about remaining in a frame. The only real stumble was when Jolene asked to go from the trot to the canter in the same corner where she jumped the rail (butt to the geese), she tried to sneak in a couple of gallup steps, but Jolene the pro anticipated it and held her back. The judge found it pleasing to see and old horse having fun, trying to please and full of get up and go. Jolene was very happy with her excellent high score. It was pretty cool how Winnie's head lowered and raised in perfect unison with Jolene's. I'm sure that is a professional's trick, but I sleep better thinking it was coincidental luck.
