This past week I was in my first b circut show, and I was suposed to be doing beginner jumpers on an of the track thoughbred, BUT, the last two times I've gotten on he's bucked me off, so my trainner thought it better for mine, and his, health if I road another horse whom I havent ridden in over 5 months.
SO the day before the show it rains, and my beginner jumper classes have been moved from sand to grass... BIG problem, my horse doesn't have shoes. so after franticly changing my classes then my schooling tickets, I get everything sorted out, the rain is letting up, and I had my coffee all was well. then at around 9pm realising that duh I need to braid and bathe the silly animal who hated the idea of standing around getting prettyfied when he shopuld be sleeping.
it for the most part all got sorted out but I could only go in the smaller novice hunters, max(the horse) refuses to jump any higher then 2'6, and I couldnt get a stall so my hunter had to stay outside in the mud (silly rain) *sniff* early morning baths and rebraiding all week. but everything turned out well, I placed in all but one of my classes (I forgot my course :D). here are a cupple of pictures from this eventful show. and by all means please critique! I have a horrible position but I dont know what I'm doing wrong hahaha
