Ride'em Cowgirl!

K has been hard a work lately getting her horse jumping skills refined. She came home from the barn the other day saying that she had jumped over 3 feet. Oy. Sunday, B and I made the trek out to Southbridge, MA to a horse show to watch K jump. (She and her father had left a wee bit earlier with the horses).

It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day! She was jumping in a class called Jumpers (not as obvious as you would think). She jumped in the 2 foot, 3 inch category.

She was unbelievable!

To watch this little wisp of a thing manage a horse that is so (SO SO SO) much bigger than her, was incredible!

This was her favorite jump on the course, which to me looked like the hardest!


Many of her facial shots were of her not breathing or sticking out her tongue. So cute.


Doesn't this look like she is riding a Merry Go Round Horse?


Yee-haw!


The proud rider with her 2 second place and 1 first place ribbons!


B and I liked the sign. B is "show happy" in this picture!


My girls make me so proud :)
