We took the three FABULOUS 5 years olds - LaGrange, Tinka's Lady, Irish Cheer (Braddock)to the Duncraven horse show in New Jersey on Sunday.
We had a really good day and I was able to feel really confident about the things that I have been doing with the horses on the off showing times. I really feel like they are growing, and learning and feeling, most importantly, more confident with themselves. Its such a good feeling as a trainer to feel the horses really trust you and then when they do things showing they trust themselves.
I took Tinka and Braddock in the 2'9" class to let them get around the course and see the jumps, and everything that young horses feel the need to look at.
Braddock was 1st (double clean)
Tink was 2nd (time fault - aka rider error haha)
Since the two went so well we decided to move them up to 3'6" at the height they usually school at home..
I can't remember which horses won what... but here is how we ended:
LaGrange Champion
Tinka's Lady Tied Res Champion
Braddock Tied Res Champion
I'm so excited to have these two guys and girl to work with :-)
More to come
