Fergie's First Show

Fergie is a Thoroughbred/Clydesdale cross who looks like a Cleveland Bay.  She has had training off and on for years but always struggled with finding calmness and rhythm.  Since arriving at Bit of Honey Training she has learned lovely ground manners, loading in the trailer, and best of all she has a solid walk, trot, and canter with a relaxed and rhythmic way of going.  Here are some of our favorite pics from today, her very first horse show!

All of this was under 3 feet of water just weeks ago with all the flooding. 
 Triple Creek Ranch in Longmont is a wonderful place to show, with gorgeous grounds, super friendly people, and mouthwatering delicious homemade cinnamon rolls.  They also have several streams that became RIVERS in the last couple weeks with all the flooding that Colorado has had.  Triple River Ranch for a while.  But true to form the barn owner and manager was completely on top of things and had the place in really great shape for the show this weekend, understanding that our horse community needed something fun like a show to recover from such tragedy.
Fergie has an incredible aptitude for shutting her eyes at JUST the right moment for photos.

When her eyes are open she's quite lovely!
