What a fun, but hot, this show was. I was lucky enough to ride Milo in the medium rated ponies and the pony equitation, and I rode What's up Doc in the small ponies. This show was at Meadow Wood Equestrian Center and had access to a refreshing river for competitors to escape the heat. Schooling days went terrific with the ponies; they both got used to schooling on grass and showing in dirt. They showed in the schooling ponies on Wednesday and Thursday in which Doc got champion and Milo got Reserve Champion in! This show was off to a great start, and the ponies were better than I could ever ask of them.

Friday, equitation day, was very successful with Milo and I winning every equitation round and snagging the champion as well. Milo was an absolute gem in his low round, as well. Over the next two days, Milo and Doc jumped their tails off in the hunters, and Milo was champion there as well. The two ponies showed me what they could do this show and helped me gain confidence as well as them. My proudest moment of this show was getting overall high point pony rider with Milo and having very consistent rounds with Doc. I was very impressed with my ponies and myself this show, and it makes me excited about how we will do at our last show in October.
