Iiiiiit's....... SHOWTIME!!!!
Oh, how we all miss going to shows! Spending week after week practicing, traveling to the show, being around hundreds of other riders all there for the same reason. The mix of nerves and excitement as your time to enter the ring gets closer and closer. Trying to both remember to breathe and remember how to ride your test or pattern. The anticipation while the judges start calling names and handing out ribbons- what place did I get?
A gold medal for a job well done!!! Special Olympics, 2019, in Gainesville, GA
With the halt of in-person shows, came a new idea! Virtual shows! Riders submit videos, and the judges judge based on that. We are fortunate enough to be taking part in Little Bit’s Therapeutic Riding Centers’ Virtual Show!! This is a therapeutic riding facility located all the way in Washington, and is open to any therapeutic riding facility. This is such a cool way for our riders to get back into the show ring, or make their debut into the show ring, all from the comfort of home! THANK YOU, Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center, for hosting this show and for letting us take part in it!
Special Olympics 2019- up in Gainesville, GA.
Riders have been working hard learning completely new dressage tests, and those show-day nerves are coming back as we film this week. Stay tuned- we can’t wait to hear how everyone did! Best of luck to all of our competitors!!!
