Here is a short update from the last horse show! We showed in hunter under saddle, equitation, halter and showmanship. We had some very nice improvements in the hunter under saddle and had some nice placings. My equitation class also went well. We went in halter for the first time to fill and actually did surprisingly well and ended up with a 3rd and 4th! This was also Dolly’s 3rd show doing showmanship and we received a 1st out of 13 horses! That was definitely the highlight of the horse show. Our next stops are to Winona, MN in 2 weeks, followed directly by another show in St.Paul, MN the next week. Updates on those shows will be coming soon!

Sorry friends! I haven’t been doing too much updating lately on the Dolly horse show summer! We have been busy at work this summer with a long horse show schedule. Our first horse show was in St.Paul Minnesota at the state fairgrounds. We had a great show for our first go at it. This was Dolly’s first time in showmanship and equitation. I was quite happy with her debut. We even had a nice visit from one of my teachers at UWM, Rachael Jurek, and had a really fun time.

For the 2nd show we moved on to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It was yet another good show with some decent Dolly improvements. For her 2nd time showing in equitation and showmanship, we placed in both! This coming weekend I will be in Jefferson, Wisconsin at the Cap Gun Circuit. Updates will be coming soon following that show. In the mean time, below are some proofs from Bar H Photography of Dolly and I in showmanship and equitation for the first time!
