Showtime

This past Sunday, Alli had a horse show at Morning Star stables in Prairie Grove.  This was her second show - in her first show she rode her usual pony Sprinkles against two other girls and got first, second, and third in her classes.

Because it was so rainy and stormy this past Sunday, we waited most of the day to hear about the show.  Finally, at 2PM, we got the call that the show was on, so we headed out to the barn.  There were two other girls there as well, so Alli had a lot of fun running around the barn with them, getting the ponies ready, and watching everyone ride.  This week, she rode Tater Tot, a shetland pony who she loves, but always struggles to ride because he's so feisty and speedy.  I was worried about her riding him in a show, but she was determined to.  She ended up doing pretty well - she got first in one class, second in another, second in a game, and reserve champion overall.  She was pretty upset though - the game was red light, green light, and Tater was being stubborn, and Alli hates to lose.  Overall though, a good experience, another show under her belt, and a perfect way to spend a Sunday.
