We took some young horses to the Florida Horse Park for their schooling show last weekend. We had one slot left in the trailer, so Farrah came along to show in a few dressage classes. Much to Farrah's surprise, she and Lauren got to practice the CCI* test and the Intermediate A with a double bridle. The judge was simply fantastic and told Lauren to school away. Farrah was astounded that for the first time ever in a competition setting, Lauren COULD throw in a 10 meter circle ad lib and Farrah figured out that her normal "oh cool, we are showing and I get to run off with Lauren" wasn't going to work out. Mission accomplished. :)
We also stayed overnight so the greenbeans could school cross country the next day. That meant Farrah got to do gallop sets at the FHP with Mattie (Lauren's working student). Farrah had a great time and Mattie finished the gallops laughing that Farrah kept trying to divert to jumps. I mean, why else would they be out there, right?
Farrah and Mattie ended with a little splash through the water and Farrah was super good. Many thanks to Kristen Bateman Novak for taking such great shots of the Redhead for her fans!!
