First Show of the Season

This past weekend I went to my first show of the 2012 season in Winona, Mn. It felt so good to be back in the show ring after a few month show hiatus, and I actually had people to show against! This is a big deal when we're talking about English classes in my area! I am lucky enough to have one purebred and one half-Arabian English horse, and they were both great in all my classes--4 classes total and I got a blue in all! It's such a special feeling to be back doing what I love most. When I'm showing, I feel at home. I feel confident, comfortable, and above all, completely in my element. Any nerves I once had in my earlier years are no longer an issue, and I am simply there to enjoy myself and my horses. I am so excited that the show season is finally here and I look forward to my upcoming shows!
