Fall Fun at Our Farm!

It was an especially fun day for this Mom/website designer & blogger, who rarely gets to spend the day with the Foxtale Farm crew at a horse show!!  I packed up one furry grey pony & one excited daughter to join Linda & crew yesterday at Our Farm.

All the kids had a successful day in the indoor, with Keilly taking the Championship ribbon and MacKenzie taking Reserve in the Pre-Children's combined division.  It was my first opportunity to watch MacKenzie on her fabulous new horse, James,  and they truly are a great new match!  I also understand that prior to my arrival, Emily did a great job riding Caillou in her earlier pony division.

Kendal stepped up from the Short Stirrup division to ride against the bigger kids in the Modified Hunters.  This was her first horse show doing 3 full, back to back courses, and I was so proud of she & little Rocket Man, who jumped so well & took home Reserve!

We headed home around 2, while Linda was in for the long haul with several more divisions before heading home herself.  It was a great treat to have Katie home for the weekend, riding Joker to the Adult Amateur championship and proving that time off to work retail has not hurt her riding ability!

Linda's getting us cranked up for the indoors, and who knows, maybe I'll be trading in my event coat for a winter of indoor hunter/jumper shows!  LT
