Last weekend at the Summer Jubilee horse show we tried something new! We had 3 girls that decided less than a week prior to the show, they wanted to try the NEHC huntseat medal. Of course with how we like to do things we went right along with it and off to learning the patterns they went. They had to memorize two different patterns because the judge could call for either one. NEITHER of these 3 horses are "seasoned" equitation horses, they have done very little patterns in their life time, if any AND not a single one of these three girls have ever done a pattern before.
Heading into this we definitely just wanted them to have a good time and get the experience. They came out with a second place, third place and a fifth place and ALL had a great time. I wish I took a picture of all of them together but a huge congratulations goes out to Hailey, Cam and Abby for participating in the medal. Whether you guys ever do it again or not we are so beyond proud of you for wanting to try! π₯° pictured here is Hailey and Contralto, also known as Cat, with their second place in Haileys first ever pattern class! π
