Going to a horse show as a photographer, boot shiner, horse holder, and all around gopher is so much more relaxing than going to a show as a rider. I had quite a good time at Sunday's show and even got to sleep in. After the show, I still had plenty of time to ride my own boys and still be home long before dark. It was pretty foggy most of the morning so none of my photos are all that great, but there were a few cute ones. Here they are.

Getting Rohan's wiggles out
Rohan and his warm up rider - how high is this fence?
Same fence, but later in the morning. Rohan's owner is aboard.
She was nervous, but they look great!
Looking for the next line

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
