Results are in!

The results of the timed obstacle course are in!

In first place was Christine and Spencer: Time of 0:58:64, with no faults! It may have helped that it was Spencer's fourth lesson on the obstacle course...he seemed to really get into it by Saturday!

2nd; Kelsey & Zander: 1:04:83
3rd: Lindsay & Java; 1:04;55 with one fault for a time of 1:07:55
4rth: Emma & Gody (!?!): 1:10:89
5th: Kaitlin & Justice: 1:06:09 + 2 faults for a time of 1:12:09
6th: Janine & Zander: 1:14:58 + 2 faults for a time of 1:20:58

Good job everyone!

I am still in shock that Gody made the top 5....

I think the lesson did work in making people think about making their horse respond in a timely manner, and also about controlling the horse's entire body; it helps to maintain outside aids when turning to help keep the horse better balanced and ready for the next turn!

I think the horses liked it too; obstacles are something they can see and understand, and anything that makes riders be more effective is welcome to them.
