First show of 2024 at Clarcona a few weeks ago - a good amount of rain on Friday, plenty of puddles, and a random rain shower that started as soon as I turned down centerline on Sunday☔️ Bono was super, making his Third Level debut and getting his first qualifying score for Regionals!

Thank you Sunsoar Photography for these fantastic photos! (I don’t think he was actually this clean, there may have been some editing magic😆)

Next set of photos are from the Region 3 Championships at the Florida Horse Park in Ocala in October. This was a big, busy event for Bono - horses, people, golf carts, scooters, tents - and he improved every day. Maybe not the scores I had hoped for, but definitely a growing experience! And we can now say goodbye to First and Second Level👋

I’m very behind on posting photos from shows and clinics, so get ready for lots of pictures of Bono, starting with the November Lehua Custer clinic!

Bono has grown up a lot this year but still can be overwhelmed in new places. Kristina and Reed’s farm is wonderful and low-key but still plenty to look at (like donkeys!!) We had a great ride with Lehua, working on good basics, bending through the body, not falling on the inside shoulder, controlling my elbows and ankles that tend to do whatever the want😆

Thanks Kristen and Sunsoar Photography for the great photos!

Heidi and team had a fun time yesterday getting videos put together for the Halter Ego Quarantine Classic! With shows postponed through at least May 3rd, this is a great opportunity to practice tests and get feedback from an 'S' judge.

Thank you to Valli for grooming and braiding, and her husband, Brian, for being our cameraman, as well as Michelle and Char for making sure the arena was groomed and footing perfect!

Someone’s worn out but really wants to watch everything going on still!

Silly pony falling asleep during the farrier visit today 🤣 Spirit says “after lunch is nap time, you’re messing with my routine. At least you remembered my fan!”

With horse shows postponed through at least May 3rd, Spirit and I have shifted focus and started truly schooling flying changes. We had played around with them last fall and Spirit had made it past the initial panic phase (his typical response to anything new being introduced, he hates not knowing what I’m asking for), but was still having trouble getting all his legs in order and often would try impressive leaps through the air that end result would get him on the other lead🤣 After taking a break from changes over the winter so we could show Second Level and actually have a counter canter, we got back to them about 2 weeks ago and it’s really starting to click. Left-to-right has always been easier but now he’s getting right-to-left as well!
