Showing

Lilly has done very well in training.  Showing on the other hand has been hit or miss.

I didn't really go after any year end awards at any series this year.  Just showing her here and there to try and get her to stop being silly.  Another issue is at shows I tend to ride very forward.  Hunter riding comes creeping back into my position.

Hoofbeats to Hope
Had a great time.  A lot of people loved my Star Wars freestyle, but the judge not so much.  We still got a respectable score, 64.833%.  I had about 10 people come up to me saying they loved my freestyle.

My average this year for musical freestyle is 65.944%.  I showed at Compass Rose and got a 68%.  The judge liked our freestyle, tho there were a few bobbles on my end.  Plus Lilly has learned her freestyle and so she's anticipating the changes and doing flying changes.  When I ask her to come down at the trot, she gets angry.  I ALREADY DID THEM!  Its funny they don't use words to speak, but I know what she's saying.  We also got a 65% at CDCTA.  Our old trainer was judging.  She loved the music.

My training level 3 tests have been mostly low.  My average is 59.88%.  At our last show at Compass Rose we got a 66.20%.  I screwed myself out of a few points with a few mistakes and again my position.  grrrr.

First level well we won't go there.  But we're entered at Morningside Training Farm on Nov. 16th.  yay!  First Level 1 and 2.

And last night we were amazing.  Of course that's at home without any pressure...

I'll try and blog more.  My muse seems to have left me this year.
