Octoberfest Charity Horse Show at HHP

 I think these speak for themselves...

(That's a purple Supreme Champion Welsh ribbon on his bridle, and two blue medals for Welsh English Pleasure and Welsh In-Hand.)

He'd never been ridden on a cross-country course or in a big open space before, and LOVED it!  But was extremely tractable about coming back down.

We got a fantastic video that I'll post as soon as I get it.  What a rock star.

  1. Fantastic! Daughter and I competed in Dressage on Saturday at HHP. I got the chance to meet a couple of fellow bloggers while there. Maybe we will meet one of these days and I will get to see your lovely cob in person :)

  5. Hey Amy! Always great to see a fellow Indiana eventer, nice to meet you! I haven't done any competing yet, still making the slow transition over from hunterland and from being petrified of jumping. But after a year of work with my amazing trainer, I'm definitely ready to show next season, so I hopefully will run into you in 2012!
