I know a few things I can do different next time to help us both. I knew from the beginning that this is all practice for me, and so it is all good in the hood!

Looks like he was a really good boy for halter, so focus on that more than what happened in your reining class. Pretty soon he'll be as good in the reining arena as he was in halter. <br /><br />He looks fantastic all cleaned up!!in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591335561198768308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-25617413694708860962013-05-26T11:41:04.273-07:002013-05-26T11:41:04.273-07:00Plus, the main point?

It's so hard to take them somewhere new, we always say that if you can get 60 percent of what you get in the arena at home at the show, then your doing good! I can't wait to see the video! Pony goes crazy when we go somewhere new also, it's such a tough road to get them to calm down somewhere new, but you guys will get there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850398102722859692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-44134759853202857472013-05-26T06:00:58.370-07:002013-05-26T06:00:58.370-07:00LOL - that's showing :) Sounds to me like you ...LOL - that's showing :) Sounds to me like you did great! Imagine if everything had gone perfectly... what would have been the fun in that. Halter, even though you didn't win, was a super idea. Gave you both a look around. And major kudos to you for carrying on and riding through the glitches in trail and reining. It's super hard to not get flustered and keep going when something flubs, but you did it and next time will be better. And man, is Trax shiny in those pictures! Keeping white clean is TOUGH!SunnySDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591623033468632399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-23720238468805946212013-05-25T22:31:16.252-07:002013-05-25T22:31:16.252-07:00Wow, I understand how that feels when you feel lik...Wow, I understand how that feels when you feel like you have no control over them and they are a different horse than they have been before. But all in all it doesnt sound like a complete wreck, and boy does he look good and clean! <br />You both got a lot of experience at the show and you need just need more going out in crowds and getting used to being nervous (which is super hard I am still nervous and working on that) More and more practice till it becomes second hand and he can do all those obstacles even when hes all chargy, but I am proud of you!

How white are your white bits? <br />Impressed your human kept her cool. Mine would have had a meltdown.

Most show horses start out going to shows at just a few months old so they can learn about all the chaos. Trax looks fantastic and he'll cope better next time. Well done!The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.com
