| On July 7th, we went over to the Huck Finn show. Bumble showed on the non-rated day in the Baby Greens with Kerston riding. This was his second show ever! He did a great job, and was a perfect gentleman. He placed 4th in his flat class and his over fence classes were nice for a youngster making his debute. Kerston did an excellent job on Bumble then went on to ride Roxy in the Level One jumpers. She and Roxy came away with a 5th for the first class. For their second trip, they had a double clear round (Power and Speed) and won the class! They were impressive to watch! On Wed, Kerston rode Dakota in the Children's Large Pony Hunters. Considering that this was Dakota's fifth show ever, and both the riders and ponies were more 'seasoned veterans', it was nice to see the pair place 4th in both of their o/f classes. The competition was tough! Roxy entered the same division (Ch's Lg Pony) with Kerston riding, but was still on jumper mode from the nigth before. She had little schooling time b/c Dakota was tacked first, so she was more up than we had hoped. Still, she went around and placed 7th in one of the classes. We wrapped our stay up early, having felt the horses all did well and were tired. We planned to come back Saturday for the jumpers, but the weather did not cooperate :-( |
