Horse Flat Show Update
|
|
The first, second and third flat shows I attended was a small-ish local show known as the Lancers. Since we haven't got a float or truck, I had to ride to the show the same morning. I would get up early to catch, groom and saddle my lease pony Maddy with my Aunty, Mum and Dad and set off towards the racecourse. Sometimes I would meet a friend on the way and walk with them to the show and sometimes Maddy would get excited and want to get there as fast as she could, but I didn't let her...too much.
Before going through the entrance to the racecourse, Maddy would be excited and try to jig-jog, but as soon as we got through the entrance she settled down and acted like she had done this a million times before. The owner of Maddy came out to watch all three shows and brought her wippit dogs with her. We took a few photos and we have made a wall hanging that just fits all my ribbons on it.
The first show I got: three 4ths, a 3rd and a 2nd!
The second show I got: three 4ths, two 2nds and two 1sts!
The third show I got: a 4th, two 3rds, a 2nd, a 1st and Reserve Champion!!!
In total I got 18 ribbons for the Lancers, plus I got to go to a dinner and I recived a free dress rug for Maddy!
The next flat show I went to was the Motoua Spring Show and again I had to ride Maddy to it. Unfortunatly, in the 2nd round Maddy got lame in her right fore hoof and we pulled out. We suspect it was a stone bruise. On the good side, we did get two ribbons: a 2nd and a 3rd and got to choose prizes for each one. I chose a sweat-scraper and some nice warm, thick socks. They are my favourite now.
I'm pretty lucky, aren't I? 20 ribbons including Reserve Champion, a dress rug, a sweat-scraper and socks!
