It's Show Time!

This weekend I competed in my first show with Reno! He was great! It was at Canterbury Equestrian Showplace here in Gainesville, Fl. We placed 2nd in our jumping class and 3rd and 4th in our dressage classes. I am most proud of my dressage placings because I just started training in dressage two months ago and I've never competed in it before! Jesson, my Mom and Dad, my boss Allie, her daughter Emaly, and my co-worker Karen were all there cheering me on! It was an awesome weekend and I'm looking forward to many more like it with Reno! Below are a few pictures we took at the show.

Everyone in our group unanimously voted Jesson the "Hero of the Horse Show". He grilled burgers for us on Saturday and fixed the flat tire on the trailer on Sunday. He carried water and video taped everyone. He was the only one in our barn to receive a 1st place blue ribbon! Do I have the best husband or what!
