Mother's Day at a Horse Show














This was a wonderful Mother's Day for Angela ... the whole weekend was spent at a Horse Show with Sarah!
Competition began at 9:30 on Saturday morning so that meant we had to be at the venue at 7:30 in order to get Annie (and Sarah) ready on time. Sarah competed in 4 classes at this show ... and they were big ones! Sarah had a fan club cheering her on Saturday .... her 1st grade teacher, Brooke Wells and her former trainer, Lauren Tedder both came out to cheer Sarah on. It was really great to have such good people in our corner! On this day, her classes each had about 10 girls in them. Sarah did great --- she brought home 2 Fourth place ribbons and 2 Sixth place ribbons. She was the youngest one in the competition so we think she did GREAT!
Sunday the classes were smaller and Sarah did beautifully --- again bringing home 4th, 5th and 6th place ribbons. She even beat her "barn nemesis" in two classes!!!
The most important thing is that Sarah got some more show experience and smiled a whole lot!!!
We will keep you updated as we continue our show season Memorial Day weekend.
