I won second place in Western Pleasure, Novice Rider.
There were more than two people in the class too
This was just a local schooling show but I hadn't been in a show in years and my last one in the 1990's was English and I did poorly.
A friend from the barn did take pictures. I will post after she sends them to me.
I rode Western as a kid for about eight years but never had formal lessons. The cowboy whose horses I rode taught me. I took English lessons in my late 20's and again in early 30's but decided on Western this time again as I am not in good enough shape for English. I've been riding a 23 year old Quarter Horse mare who has been there and done that. She is a dream in lessons, smooth as silk but vastly prefers gaming or reining to Western Pleasure. I'm hoping to do my first gaming in January at a local event that the barn is hauling to. As a lesson rider only, I can't go unless everyone else goes.
