Soccer game success!


 
Saturday was perfect weather for our first ever soccer game! I have no idea who won...team bay scored against themselves in the first round, and then pushed the ball out of bounds in the second. Team Black seemed afraid to get into a scrimmage. I am thinking it may have been Team Blue with Stephanie and Amelia! Team Chestnut won the runner up game...Gody really liked getting in the way of the ball, and Shawn surprised me my being willing to get right into the crowd.
 
Next we did an individual challenge...Wolfgang won with Michelle, Percy was second with Laureen, Shawn was third with Roberta, and Izzy was forth with Margie.
 
Neither Izzy nor Riley were thrilled with the crowds, so events like this is a good preparation for showing...although perhaps Margie would have liked some warning about Izzy's fear of noises...
 
Beth rode Flicka who it turns out matches Percy perfectly...I think the first 10 minutes was the geldings all eyeing her! Flicka seemed confused by the game and wanted to herd and cut the ball rather than push it...she is a cow horse at heart!
 
Thanks to everyone who came and to Rob who bar-b-q'ed!
