Sidney and Linda also rode the elementary course at Moqui this weekend. They had very conservative rounds, because we're working on getting Sidney to really relax on course and enjoy herself. Linda did a great job following the instructions I gave her regarding which fences to jump and which ones to go around so that she and Sidney had a really confidence building ride.
I feel like this first photo should be captioned, "Horseshows in the time of Covid"...
Daisy had been to Moqui several years ago when I had her in training before I sold her (and subsequently bought her back). She didn't ride that time, though, she had just come along for the field trip and to stand tied at the trailer. So this was her first time riding the course, and Jasi did a great job piloting her around the elementary fences.
Silver and Gillian did the elementary course, too. Silver was really good, listening to Gillian's cues and looking for his fences. I'm so proud of this pair and the courage from both of them. It was a reach for them to do a full cross country course together, but they did it incredibly well.
This was my first Cross Country schooling show. Sidney and I had so much fun! Kim and I are making a lot of progress in slowing Sidney down on the course...Thank you so much Kim!!!
