The pony and I getting ready to do dressage, I rode one test before Hannah to get Nysa ready, Nysa was still a dork but it was better than just throwing Hannah up there. I got 4th but I had asked to show Con Corse so I'm not sure why I got placed.

Hannah's first test, pony was very "up" and pulling like a freight train but Hannah handled it like a pro. She took 6th(out of 6 but it was a ribbon)

Hannah's second test, they did much better, pony was calmer and Hannah planed ahead. She took 5th(out of 6, she beat somebody!)

Nysa and I in the Starting box, ready to go, she was watching the horse in front of us. Like our wild colors? eventers are the only english riders that get to wear fun colors so we make the most of it ;)

Third Jump, the first two being logs, hey cut me some slack we were doing starter and Nysa had never seen a CC fence before in her life.

In the foreground is jump 4, Nysa and I are the speck in between the stair jump and the spools / X jump.

All done, what a brave and bold girl, I'm so proud of that ride! FYI I was just riding it for practice, not to be scored, however I was only about 15 seconds over optimum time and I had omitted one jump(incurring a time penalty) so I would have done well.

I don't have an pics of my two dressage rides, I took 3rd in both, the judge made some comments about Nysa not being ready for that level(training 1 and 2 pd, thanks for asking) but I know it was just the show day and new environment getting to her.
I also have no pics of us doing Stadium jumping, perhaps Kris has some on her camera.
Lastly getting the pony un-done for the ride home, that is Hannah plying the wet sponge, her mom Kris had undone the braids.

All in all a very success full day for all of us :)
