The show season is well under way!!

Today we had the first show of the season at the Rose Ranch Jump Start show.  Vivian and Katy took Cowboy and Pumpkin and showed in the open hunter/jumper classes.  It was such a nice relaxed atmosphere that was perfect to start the show year. Katy showed cowboy in the 2'0, 2'3, 2'6 classes and was a superstar!!!! She came out with a fifth in the 2'9 class. Cowboy is such a great horse for people to learn the ropes on for showing and Katy really has excelled this past winter riding him!! Its so fun to see them make so much progress.
Vivian showed Pumpkin in the 2'3,2'6 and 2'9 and also cowboy in the 2'9.  Viv tries so hard to be perfect and nerves got in our way in her first class, but made steady improvement and ended on such a good note!!! She is such a dedicated rider and gives riding her all!!!! I couldn't ask for a better student to be able to teach and help me in the barn! Vivian has trained pumpkin from the ground up and I am so excited to see how this year will go with them showing in the pony jumpers, who knows maybe she will do the child/adult jumpers :)  Viv came home with a 4th in the 2'6, and a 3rd on pumpkin and a 4th on cowboy in the 2'9.
We have a very exciting year coming up and can't wait to see how they both continue to make progress on their horses!!!
