I didn't write about it right away due to being extremely busy with school and the horse (taking a break from the bike!), but on October 3rd, the barn where I board my horse had a schooling show. Mac is still fairly thin and gets tired really easily, so I entered him in 3 classes: W/T/C Pleasure, Equitation, and the Trail Trials class. Mac got 3rd in his pleasure and equitation classes, so we went into the championship class, which he took a 2nd and a 3rd. Overall, he got two 2nd places and two 3rd places.
The trail trial. I haven't done one in 8 years! Mac is a pro, so all of the mistakes (such as not stopping at the bridge) were mine. He was a complete champ! I need to work on my "L" back ups and whatnot. Mac was dead tired by the time the trail trial class started, so I don't blame him for being cranky at my mistakes.
Overall, the show was a LOT of fun, and I'm so glad to be back at the barn and spending more time with my horse!
