Last weekend, I went back up to Rochester to ride in my first horse show. I only did the beginner flat classes (no jumping) and got third out of four for equitation. I’m good with that, especially for my first show! Here’s a picture of me on the horse I rode, Lacey.
I had to borrow the ridiculous outfit. Am I the only one that thinks it’s weird to dress UP to ride a horse? I guess if I’d been doing it since 8 years old or if I had enough money to buy my own (go look up how much some of that stuff costs – it’s nuts), I might not think it’s crazy. And, I have to admit, even though my legs were too fat for the boots I borrowed and they hurt like a bitch, I think I rode better in them than I do in my half chaps and jeans. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not.
Next exciting horsey adventure? Adult horse camp at the end of the month! Haha, I’m pumped.
