Our first time out to show in over a year and a half. I always love going to the Haku Baldwin Horse Center. The beautiful outdoor field surrounded by jacaranda trees is always spectacular. Dad helped trailer and hold Kalae. It was her birthday too, 14years old. She was amped! The first 15 minutes was spent leaping, striking out bucking on the lunge in the indoor. Thank goodness for very small shows and nobody in the indoor. I walked her back to the trailer to put on my boots and the next thing I knew she was down rolling with all her tack on and dad saying "She's going to ruin her saddle" Ahhh GET UP! Silly girl. Talk about riding a keg of dynamite.
It is fun to have all the power but at the same time there is just too much tension and the medium trots break into canter. The extended walk is jig in 3 to 4 places. Not listening to any flying changes on the straight line. But we had a lot of good moments. Half pass and Shoulder-ins got 7's as did the medium and ext canters. Slowly, slowly getting there as it was our first time showing 4th level. It was fun. We had a piaffe in the beginning too :)
