Emily and Ryan walk back to the stables after a successful cross country run.

Being in the Preliminary/Training group has one advantage – you are up and at it early. And today I was glad for the early start. It was downright HOT today. It felt like a July day in New England – not the first weekend in May!

UNH chose to hold it’s jumping phases back-to-back, so my daughter went straight from show jumping to the XC start box. As every show mom does, I greeted her at the show jumping exit to help change the horses boot and the position on the bit and then RAN to the water complex to watch the only part of the UNH cross country course that you can see more than 2 jumps.

She looked FABULOUS. Clean XC jumping with a few time faults because she didn’t push him (being his first show in 2010).

A successful finish with a 6th place ribbon to open the show season.

WAY TO HAVE A NICE RIDE, EMILY!
