George and I took Kali and Kyra over to a local jumper show yesterday afternoon. Kali hasn't shown in a year, and this was George's first time showing Kyra, and his first time back showing in the jumpers since 1999. We had a really fun time, deciding to take it easy on all of us and only do the 3' Ch/Adult division (horses are schooling 4'+ at home). Kali was just fantastic, and ended up Champion after winning 2 of the 3 classes, including the stakes class (yay, $!). :clap: George was 2nd in the second class, and was having a superb stakes class trip, when he had a slight brain fart and forget which direction the last jump was, so ended up circling and thus incurred some faults. :shoot: Oh, well! I was so pleased that I managed to NOT do any of the following, which I DID manage to do at my first (and only) jumper show last year: fall off, refuse, have a rail. :teehee:

Pictures!

Isn't that the truth! Comes from way too many years riding with Katie Prudent. :teehee: (minus the elbows, which I've been yelling at him about for the past 2 weeks... that's a new one)

How's that little chestnut filly of yours? Do you still have her?
Yes, we still have Zeda, and she is doing very well! I trailered her over to a trainer friend's place on Saturday, where there is a big outside grass riding area (like 250' x 300') with jumps. She's in a totally strange place, but does she care? Nope, I still needed to carry a crop and she hacked around on the buckle, LOL. Laid-back is an understatement with her. She W-T-C around like an old pro, never changing her perfect pace. She's only jumped itsy-bitsy x-rails before, but we set up a little gymnastics line, and she was perfect. No hesitation, her ears perked up, and she was looking for the next jump. We got up to about a 2'6" oxer, and she was finally giving an effort to jumping it, and doing it in perfect form. She's just got a lot of natural talent, so she doesn't put much effort into small things. Unfortunately, she's a real back-cracker-type jumper, so I don't think she's going to be a sidesaddle horse. :teehee: My trainer friend looked at me after we were finished, and asked, "Are you REALLY sure you want to sell this one??" ;)
