Well, we are back from our weekend in NB...with more pictures and videos than we know what to do with! It's going to take a while to sort through it all so I thought I'd provide a quick little synopsis. - We went. We had fun. We had great experiences. We came home. The end.
OK, well maybe a little better than that!
We got there late on Friday, but managed to to get set up in semi-darkness. We had so much fun laughing on the trip up and Friday night that my sides were sore.
On Saturday, Troy and I rode the 30 mile LD. Trails were beautiful (as usual) and DRY (not as usual but awesome!) We had to manage the horses "panting" in competition which is new for us, but we figured it out. It was hot. We both completed and Spirit received 3rd place!
On Sunday, it was a 15 mile Judge Pleasure. I rode Spirit for miles only. Tammy competed on Wind and Kathleen competed on Caddy. Great experiences all the way around. Kathleen - just 14 years old - received 3rd for Horsemanship and her horse received 4th for Trail Horse! Tammy received 2nd in the adult division for Horsemanship!
And just so you don't think that all the competitions are about horses.....Kora McDonald, the hosts 8 year old daughter wanted to compete but she doesn't ride a lot yet, so she has her own type of competition...the "stare down" and she is darn good at it. Here is a little video clip where she challenges Troy and then me to a "stare down" I didn't even know this was being taped, but it's pretty cute. (Will provide lots more detail once I've had time to sort through pictures/video and write up stories).
