Horse show pictures & videos!!!

I'm back! The horse show was fun, sorta. :p Austin was HORRIBLE. He would NOT listen. We did, O.K our placeings were as follows:

Halter: 6th :rolleyes: :o
Showmanship: 3rd
Western Pleasure: 3rd
Horsemanship: 3rd
Trail: 5th
Barrels: 5th
Keyhole: 3rd
Pole Bending: 3rd
Sack Race with Cassie C.: 3rd

I CAN NOT believe Austin got 5th in Barrels, that is the one thing he is good at. But, when I started off in Barrels, he got excited and bucked, and I flew over the saddle, and landed on his neck. I got my legs wraped around his neck, and pulled myself backwards into the saddle again. We did the barrel pattern nicely, but saddly we got 37.372 seconds which is horrible if you arent familiar with horses. I'm not proud at all of him.

On with the pictures!! I'll try to expain some of the pictures ;)

Me & Austin, Cassie and Jazz, and Sara and Cisco lined up for the judge in Western Pleasure - You can see that Austin doesn't like this judge, as he is sticking his tongue out at her ;)

Me and Austin waiting to do Barrels. This show was fun, because the gaming classes didn't require a hat or a long sleeve shirt, which most classes do, so we got to keep a little cooler in the 85 degree weather.

one more post...

Me and Cassie doing the sack race. This was the first time Austin and Jazz (our horses) had met, and they weren't quite sure why they were doing this together, so at the beginning they wouldn't go, but we made them. It was a lot of fun, even though we did badly, and I made a good friend.. these horse shows can get lonely if you dont know a lot of people!

walking trying to get the horses used to each other:

Edit: Oops forgot the videos!!

First one is of me and Austin doing barrels, you can see at the beginning that Austin bucked, and I flew over his head. Sorry, this is a crappy video as my mom was more worried of me not breaking anything than she was of video taping! ;)

thats all!

Great pictures and videos! It looks like such a beautiful day and I'll bet a fun day! :)

great pictures! :) It looks like it was fun. :)

great pics, looks like so much fun!!! Your mom did better on taping then my mom would ever do!

Great pictures! Your mom cut your head off a couple times in the videos, but we dont mind. We're looking at Austin anyway. ;) :p Nah.. I'm glad you had a good times even though things didn't go as planned. Thanks for sharing!

wow, very cool! It is so weird to see you guys not wearing helmets :p I love your outfit.

ah, what great pics!! loos like you guys had fun! i absolutly love horses, Austins a gorgeous boy!

I love those pics, and I really like the way you ride. Well done you, it looked like a fantastic day, even if the arena was small ;)

Very cool! I like the color green on Austin, it really stands out nicely! Looks like you had fun! :)

Thank you so much everybody!! It was a blast, and a good warm up for the upcomming show. Sorry for the videos, I wish I could have got a little video of the pleasure classes and not just gaming, but my dad isn't smart enough to run a digital camera. :p My sister and I had to run out of the arena every time we were done doing a gamming event, and gallop over to the side of the arena to take more pictures while the other was riding, and my mom took the videos. O well, I promise I will have better pictures and videos from the next show!

Thanks for sharing those great pics! :) I loved every minute of watching... it looks like great fun! :)

Lots of love,
Sus and Bella

You are so fortunate to be able to take part in activities like that, i hope to be able to one day! You and your sister are so beautiful and you guys look HOT on horseback! ;) I love the way women look sitting tall in a saddle! I'm mostly just wishing it was me! ;) The horses are all gorgeous!

Great pictures. Sorry about your placings(even though I'd be happy lol)

Lol, Kari, too bad their weren't any HOT guys!! ;) :p

Thank you everyone for the complements!!

I have another horse show this week... We are bringing the horses to the barn Wednesday night, we have a horse show Thursday, Friday, Saturday (might not do this one, it gets to be REALLY long), and Sunday. The horses get to come home Sunday night. So I'll have a long week ahead of me, but I promise, LOTS AND LOTS of pictures, I'll have plenty of time to take pictures of other horses besides mine too! :) Wish us luck!

great pics, looks like the sack race was really fun ! :D :D
