So I competed in my first dressage show ever a few weeks ago, and figured I would put up some pictures. It was ment to be a joke, as I was riding Holly, a Suffolk Punch who had never been in a show before, and I normally do not do much dressage (all the kids at the barn look at me weird when I'm in a dressage saddle, and not going over big jumps). However, we came in second in the novice division with a 64%..... maybe we have a new calling?? Anyway, here are pictures of us!

I need to learn to use spurs without turning my toes out.....
If my toes weren't sticking out, I would love this one... isn't she cute?
Cute butt!
So proud of my girl! We managed to finish just before the rain really hit. The other cool part of the day was that I got to scribe for the upper level tests. I must say, it did increase my appreciation of dressage, I may even take a few dressage lessons this summer!
