Henry has a trainer ride and he was awesome!
Then when I got off work- hubby B and I went up to SIHS.... it was SUPER quiet when we got there. I was hoping to catch some of the "normal" classes but we must have missed them. We walked around the few venders, grabbed some dinner and then found our seats for the evening program.

They had the Land Rover Ride and Drive- the riders jumped 6 jumps, then ran a little course on foot and then drove a Land Rover through 4 sets of cones... it was so much fun!
There was also the high jump which is crazy! There were 6 riders that qualified and 2 went into the final roung. Jenni Mcalister on Here I come won, 6 ft 5 inches was the last jump... C R A Z Y high!
Saturday was lesson day...
We were out way to late Friday night and I was a smidge late to the barn but since I have been blanketing Henry, he was clean I was super quick taking up and was in the arena at the same time as my trainer.
We hacked around... ended up doing about 7-8 min of 2 point through the lesson (thank L for keeping track!).
We ended up jumping a line- X 4 strides to an oxer 2 strides to a vertical.
At one point trainer put a box under the vertical and raised it.. Henry tried to run out and we ended up taking out the standard but I didn't fall off and he jumped it ha!
After the lesson B rode Henry, he was such a good boy! She told me she wanted to jump with the polls all the way at the top! NO FEAR!
Turn out Sunday, hack Monday, lesson Tuesday, off Wednesday, hack Thursday, idk Friday and lesson Saturday.
Loved your video of the show!
ReplyDeleteSo cool hu? :)
Delete6' 5"? What?! That's a scary high jump. Sounds like a fun competition, though.
ReplyDeletePS: If B is as eager to jump the highest fence possible once she's older, she would make an excellent fearless show jumping rider.
DeleteYeah 6'5 is crazy high!
DeleteSeriously B is all over it! :)
Henry and B are so cute!
ReplyDeleteShe didn't want to get off haha!! Thats my girl ;)
DeleteThe international, how fun!

DeleteYou have a pretty great hubby if he doesn't mind being carted to horse shows! Also, I saw your pictures of the high jump. That is crazy!
ReplyDeleteI played the it's my birthday soon card ;)
DeleteThat is an important card!
Delete^right :)
DeleteLoved the videos and photos from the show! Looks like B will make a nice jumper one day!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIf it's something she loves and as long as my trainer doesn't go anywhere she will have the best opportunities!
I couldn't even imagine going over those. Kudos to them! :) B is adorable.
ReplyDeleteRight! I would go around ;)
DeleteHorse show sounds fun! I didn't know there even were 6' competitions, I always thought they were around 5'. lol
ReplyDeleteIt was a high jump competition so not a whole course, just one jump that big :)
DeleteLove that shes so interested in the ponies!
ReplyDeleteMe too!! :)
DeleteWhoah that's some fearless child you got there!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! lol
