After not showing for 2 years I finally got back out there at Poplar Place. I took 8 YO Leo who had only ever been to one show & that was 3 yrs ago, and Kensi (10 YO New Forest Pony) who I had never shown since I bought him 2 yrs ago. Also with us was my leased out 20 YO GRP ridden by Rachel. Quick trip with one day to ship, settle in and school then show the next day & drive home. Rachel had a fabulous day since Jolly rises to the occasion for showing! Two firsts & a third with scores of 74+, 73+, 69+. All at First Level. My scores weren't great but it was more about the whole experience for horses that had not been out in a while. The atmosphere is so much different than at home. Still had fun! These are of Leo doing 3 - 3. More photos to come. Came home to much needed rain & a double rainbow. Special thanks to Chris Erbskorn for continuing to train me and all my horses and ponies over the years. here’s to at least another 10 years!
