Three weekends in a row of fun activities for me and my Spanish Mustang. This week Indy and I trailered to the Pig Pond Classic Schooling Show held at Birchbury Farm for dressage and stadium jumping.
We didn’t place in our jumping classes but took second place in First Level with a score of 61.111%. While checking in I was tapped on the shoulder by a Mom and her daughter who I had met two years ago at a schooling show. The mother rides a Spanish Mustang and her daughter rides a dun pony. I was thrilled to watch her winning ride over the two foot vertical course. It was a simply textbook ride—forward, confident, and well negotiated!
Since storms moved in just after the last dressage test was ridden, it cut the day short so we will have to take a rain check on schooling Birchbury’s elaborate cross country course.
