Show Update (sorry it's really late)

So Yada's first show was great! She did an amazing job and everyone there LOVED her! It was only her second time riding full western and she did great! The judge commented on how great she was the entire time on only commented on keeping my hands tighter on the reins or in western, not switching hands. I'm new to western, so that's fine. Also, she needs to work on backing up but considering she's only done it 6 times, she was kick-ass at it!
For the results of the show:
English Equitation: Third
English Pleasure: Second
Western Equitation: Second
Western Pleasure: First
Costume Class: Honorable Mention (it was a borrowed costume with wings and Yada didn't care! She's completely relaxed!)
Trail Class: Fourth (never walked over hula hoops, backed through poles, or walked through pool noodles. Scary stuff yet she was fearless!)

Considering it was her first show, I couldn't be more proud of her! Also, we brought an old friend of mine, Alicia, and her horse, Gizmo, and Yada and Gizmo fell in love! They were so cute!

Here they are napping together before the trail class! Yada is the one with the brown leather bridle.

Here Yada is in her full western gear!

Since Saturday, Yada has had it really easy. Sunday was really hot so I gave her the day off. Monday, I stopped by to give her some love and treats, and today she had the day off because I was out with my friends celebrating Dollar Tuesday at a local theater where movies are only $1 and we go swimming for $5!

Tomorrow, as long as the arena isn't filled with hay, we're going to get some work in since I haven't really made her work a whole lot. Saturday was the "toughest" day she did and it was mostly standing, eating hay, and walk/trot. Hardly work, really.

However, I have discovered one new thing about Yada. On Saturday, she encountered her first miniature horse and miniature donkey. Apparently minis are TERRIFYING in her mind! She finds them horrifying! The only thing I have ever seen her spook at and then run away from! They were really cute (and both naughty) and to Yada, they were NOT okay! She spooks at minis but not giant purple wings hanging from her shoulders. What a silly little girl! I love her!

While Yada has to work, Louize gets the luxury of hanging out in the pasture. I might ride her a little tomorrow, too. I don't work her much since she's getting older. She just gets lots of love and treats! I looove Louize!

I will update you more later! Sorry this was late, been a busy week with my best friend, Sarah!
