Took these ladies to school and show at Poplar Place this weekend. They were both challenged with doing something harder than they’ve done before.
Montse did the 2’ Optimum time stadium class. This was her first stadium trip on him and her first time competing with oxers. She rode making smart decisions and it paid off. First and second places. Glad she swallowed her nerves and trusted her wonderful pony, Echo. She won first and second!
Madilyn schooled the entirety of the 18 fence Beginner Novice XC course Friday for the first time. Lots of difficult obstacles and the course asked some level appropriate, but difficult questions. They did a great job with all of it. Then we did a few stadium BN classes for fun today. She came in a close second and a 4th. Excited by the progress these two have made this year. Proud of them both!
Thanks to Poplar Place for a fun show with great courses. Thanks to the support team these young ladies have. I’ve said it before, but it takes a village and we have a great one!!
