Thank you Rob for taking pictures! It was a weekend of firsts for Team Hillside! Dani and Friday had their first show experience, as did Margie and Roberta! All three horses came home with ribbons including a first for Shawn and Roberta! It was a great show, with more entries than I expected. The weather was lovely, and as usual, the group at Mapleleaf Meadows made sure we had a good experience.
Friday settled down pretty quickly, although he was a little extra springy for Margie's first two classes. The ribbon presentation was traumatic too! By their later classes he seemed more relaxed and was happy to nap by the edge of the ring.
Dani was scandalized by the ponies, and thought the little black and white pinto was an abomination that needed close watch. I am sure that is the most horses she has ever seen in one place!
Shawn seemed thrilled to be on display and was much perkier and responsive than his usual self.
It was lots of fun and a good experience all around. Thanks also to Janine for coming to cheer us on, and Laureen for bringing Shawn.
