We got third place in our show yesterday and I'm so excited!! Now we have a 1st place ribbon, 2nd place ribbon, and 3rd place ribbon!
Here are some pics from the show, I'll have more to post later (and better ones - my friend's camera is much better than mine!)
Stadium jumping:
Warming up for cross country:
Doing a little cantering in between jumps on the cross country course:
And showing off our yellow ribbon
I think the best part about the day (well besides the pretty ribbon of COURSE!) was the fact that I felt like my dressage test went really terribly...but in actuality, I ended up with a 33.5 which is my best score yet!!
At first I just chalked it up to having a judge who scores high in general, but my trainer apparently knows of him and said he is a TOUGH judge! So apparently my dressage is just getting better which makes me feel great! And no refusals or run outs whatsoever on either jump course...what a great day!
