Alex's Horse Show
I am so proud of my daughter today. I had to get up SO early this mornig after tyring to sleep all night with the mischevious cat and the flatulant dog. Needless to say, that did NOT go well. We got up, got Alex all ready including "fluffing" her hair up and then curling it which took about 45 minutes. Then we went to the store and got some donuts and snacks for later in the day. We drive the 45 minutes to the barn and Alex's hair starts to flatten and get ratted. Her dad and step-mom show up late, again and finish getting her into her riding costume and get her hair fixed to be braided (we have to fluff it before it will go into the braid) and under her helmet. For the first time she competed in a horse show WITHOUT a trainer leading the horse. She was in a walk trot class and was the youngest girl in the group. She took third place, but she really did much better than that. She was on the correct diagnal the entire time, even after the reversal and she stayed out of the way of the other riders and held her composure very well after the horse she was riding, Mr. T., tripped. I am so proud of her. She has worked SO hard and it really showed today.
I have so much mommy proudness right now.
