Christine and Karen had a great time at this years show. Meeting up with everyone once again was fun, as was bringing along the ponies. *Peppermint Twist EB did a fantastic job for her first time at the show. Karen rode her after having worked with her during the summer (and having gone on their first ride out as well!) Pepper remained calm and gathered a lot of experience. Kachina also did a good job showing off her wonderful gaits and comformation. Here are some highlights from the show for you!

Karen rides Comanche style on the last day of the show. (Yes, we know the photos are a little out of order! :)

Early in the morning on Sunday, looking at the stands it looks like no one wanted to get up that early on a Sunday! Great job Christine and Kachina!

Karen taking it slow and steady with Peppermint.

Saturday, a lot more visitors.

Good girl Peppermint Twist!

What are you trying to say Karen? We know you can't whistle, so maybe it was "woah."

Kachina looking fabulous! You too Christine!

A pleasant moment. Because Peppermint is new to all of this we took our time in the arena.

After spending some time in a secluded area lunging Kachina, happy with the results Karen?

Oops, on Friday we didn't know we had to bring the text with us for the open arena. Karen says, oh my gosh, I have to talk using a microphone? What am I supposed to say? Well, she did come up with something!

Talking and riding, not so easy with a mount new to riding!

Sunday before leaving, exhausted.

Hey but here is how we looked on Friday, right Christine and Karin??! :) Thanks Reini (Karin's student) for this photo.
