Horse show weekend!

This weekend Anna competed in a horse show, this time stepping up into cross rails!  There were two events each day and they weren't super early in the morning but did end up taking most of the day.  We would arrive around 9 a.m. and the temperature would be 44 degrees and by the time we left it was 89 degrees on Saturday and 83 degrees on Sunday.  

Here is event number one!  

And here is the video of Round 1:

And then it was off for Round 2!  

And here is a video of Round 2:

They had this cute backdrop but it just wasn't quite big enough.  Or maybe it was just that we aren't as talented in our animal photo taking skills as others!  

We waited around for a looooonnnng time (more than 2 hours!) and found out that Anna got 5th place in both events!  Yippee!!  The first group had 18 entries and the second group had 15!  Wow!

 And today was Day 2!  I didn't take many photos of her first ride.  Not sure why!   

 And here is a video of the first run:

She got 4th place for her first run!  Yippee!  And that was out of 18!  (Although we don't find out the scores until well after she competes.)  And then she had her second run.  She did amazing! 

 And this was just before she added a bit of flare.

 You have to watch the video to find out what that flare is!

Thankfully she is okay and had fun and got back on with a smile on her face!
