Even though my farm and horses are soggy, disgusting messes, I did manage to get a few things done this weekend! One of those (fun) things, was making a trip up to a local show where my friends and former barnmates were showing! I haven't taken many photos since Hawaii (I mean why, it's been disgusting out), so I dusted off the equipment and snapped some photos at the show :) I only went for the second half of the day, so I missed most of the halter and English classes in the morning -- the afternoon was for western (and my favorite kiddo rode English)! I'm not gonna lie, I really wish I rode western enough to justify one of these freaking awesome woven western pads from
Backroad Trading Company.

This was a Friesian x QH x Percheron cross and it was ADORBS. |

Is there anything more adorable than kids winning ribbons? Probably not. |
It was nice to get out of the house a bit and hang out with friends and horses! We also got the arena dragged last night, so hopefully it will be dry enough one night this week to ride!
those are lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI'm impressed with the cleanliness of the horses - especially the greys. Mine are...well, let's not discuss it lol!
ReplyDeleteHaha well there are perks to boarding in an insulated barn with a wash rack -- I miss it! My guys are disgusting lol
DeleteCan you come take pics at our next show? Lol but maybe wait until we can chisel our horses out of the mud....
ReplyDeleteI am always down for photographing horse shows, I love it! 🙂 Fly me out and I'll take all the pics you want 😂
DeleteThat kid is ADORABLE! Look how happy!
ReplyDeleteIsn't she presh? She's the daughter of a good friend and like the only kid I find even remotely tolerable. I love her to bits. This was her first show with a new horse and as you can see, it went well!
DeleteBeing paparazzi is so fun!! These pictures are awesome! That kid is super cute. The pure joy <3
ReplyDeleteThe unposed candids that say so much about a relationship are my favorite! 😍
DeleteI love attending shows when my friends are competing. Just soaking in the atmosphere makes me happy :D
ReplyDeleteI tend to get anxiety when I show, so being at a show where there's no pressure and I can just hangout with friends is awesome!
DeleteDarnit, I miss riding western now. And those pads are SO pretty
ReplyDeleteAren't they so gorgeous??
