Show!

On Saturday Lilly went to her second show! I am extremely proud of her! She did so well loading in the trailer, she gets better each time. When she got to the barn she was staying at for once she wasn't crazy in her stall, trying to barge out, which makes me very happy. The first day we went down the street to the barn that the show would be held at, Soaring Eagles. I rode with my friend, which also means Lilly had to ride with another horse, something she doesn't do a lot. She was very, very good. She did get a bit bull headed to try to catch up to my friends horse, Kuni, but other than that she acted like a complete pro. On the second day we also went down to Soaring Eagles and rode with two horses. Lilly was also extremely good for this :). Then it was Saturday, show time. There was a lot going on, a lot of horses, a lot of people, a lot of noise. But Lilly acted like she'd seen it all before. She only spooked once, other than that, she was totally "Been there, done that", something I never thought she would be. We placed first in eq. on the flat, and second over crossrails. I am so proud of her, and I can't wait for the next show, she just gets better everytime!!
