Pinto Show
Last weekend we loaded up and went to Mullet Hall Equestrian Center for the monthly Pinto show. We showed in the 2'9'' 15- Adult Equitation division and the costume class on Saturday and the Equitation and 3ft division Sunday. We did really well and took most original for our costume! We were a bathtub and Amador was super patient and calm. Saturday it rained and the ring was really muddy so we weren't going to ride but we got him out just to see what he would do and he was awesome, so our trainer gave us the right of way to compete and we did really well! I will have pictures up soon of us as a bathtub!

Amador at Hampton
We just got back from the SC State Fair where we did well. I'm going to post pics of that as soon as I get them from our amazing photo taker Amelia, tomorrow! I saw them today though and there are some really amazing ones of us over fences as well as a few great candids! We competed in the 2'3'' and 2'6'' divisions, as well as equitation and a hunter hack.
We are working really hard to get ready for the show this weekend at Mullet Hall. We are going to compete in the 2'9'' 15-Adult equitation as well as the working hunter 3ft. Also we are going to compete in the Halloween costume contest and I will post pics as soon as it's over, all I can say is our costume is awesome and super crazy! In addition to all this Amador is going to make his debut in the lead line class ridden by Holly's daughter Kenzie.
We are facing a minor setback in all our preparations though. Last Monday I sat on an old chair at my house and it completely collapsed! lol I thought I was fine until my hand started hurting really bad. I worked through it all last weekend despite the fact we all thought it was broken. So today my mom decided that I really needed to go get it looked at and get some xrays taken, just to stay on the safe side. So we went to the doctor and took care of all that and thank goodness it's not broken! I do have to be really careful when I ride and I can't ride unless it's Amador in preparation for the show this weekend.
