Not the best place for a saddleseat pair to go to, but it was a fun little practice show. I'm trying to think of how many classes I had . . .
Showmanship: I knew I shouldn'tve done it, but I ignored that voice in my head and did it anyway. If the places had gone all the way down, I definately would have gotten last. My worst performance ever; they had us back about a hundred steps (not exaggerating, either) and Misty just refused to do it. So we went all over the place, me trying to back and her being a butthead. XD
Conformation: Fifth out of five. Cause I was saddle-type and the rest were QHs. *sighs*
English Equitation: Sixth out of eight. Our figure eight was a little shaky, but everything else went really well. I was kind of surprised at how low, but at least I got placed ^^
English Pleasure: Fourth out of fifteen. WoOt. The judge finally figured out that not all saddleseat horses are supposed to have motion.
Arab/Half Arab Hunt Seat Pleasure: Gasp, I showed hunt seat. First out of three. I probably won't be doing it again, because even though Misty is cute, she's just too much horse for it.
Dicipline on the Rail: Immediate actions to what the judge asks. We got 2nd out of 19 ^-^ I'm glad I touched up on her equitation training. It was my mistake that we didn't win; I was still in huntseat attire, and the judge asked for the reverse at the trot, so I followed my saddleseat instincts and went to the rail to turn. Haha. It kinda ticked me off, because I did what the judge asked, but just 'creatively'.
There are a couple pictures, but none worth seeing. My mom abandoned the camera because it took too much time. lol.
