This weekend in Clemson went fantastically. Several of our riders finally crossed the threshold to the next level. There is one blue ribbon absent from the picture courtesy of Jessica on India. We went up Friday to unload and school. The big arena wasn't open on Friday, so several of our Clemson rookies went to bed Friday night having no idea what they had gotten into. Saturday morning Paula met us at the barn ending the family vacation a day early to help show Shiloh in the classes I'm not eligible for. The rookies got to see the ring for the first time and one or two were in complete awe. Everyone improved as the day progressed. The highlights included Kaijsa cantering a couple of courses on Em overcoming some significant confidence issues, and Nicole not only competing at 2'6", but winning her first class at the height. The best part... was it was an equitation class with 16 competitors in it.
We'll be heading back to Clemson in August and plan on competing in the hunter/jumper show as well as everyon completing a combined training test. We're currently planning to make this show Amador's debut with our barn. Watch out HUS riders here we come!!!
