Sacramento Internaltion Horse Show

Friday was full of fun stuff...

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.

Picture on the bottom right is 6 ft 5 inch


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.

  1. 6' 5"? What?! That's a scary high jump. Sounds like a fun competition, though.

    1. PS: If B is as eager to jump the highest fence possible once she's older, she would make an excellent fearless show jumping rider.

    1. Thanks!

      If it's something she loves and as long as my trainer doesn't go anywhere she will have the best opportunities!
