MHJ Finals-
Hunter did really good the day before no refusals in the childrens eq. division and he missed one lead but we did get champion in a Fieldstone Pleasure division against some really nice horses
The actual MHJ day he was going great getting all the jumps perfectly but then he went to a wider oxer and he gave me signs that he was going to jump it but then at the base he planted his feet and said no and wouldnt jump anything after not even an 18" verticall....so next year ill bring him back and see what we can do

OSHC Horseshow!!!! 8/15
Me and Hunter have been practicing all week for this horseshow and i honestly thought he just wasnt ready i rode him the day before the horseshow and i fell off before a jump cuz he tripped so i was bruised and sore on my left leg so this made my riding abit off to the left...
Today at the show he acted very calm and mature NO REFUSALS!!! :D and these were pretty scary jumps we started with our Rhode Island Mini Medal ? i think thts what its called and he went in a did the job except he knocked a rail cuz i didnt set him up as good as i should have so we ended up 5th of 5. The next class was our Childrens Eq course 1 he went in and was a pro i was soo happy he ended 3rd out of 5. The next was Childrens Eq course 2 and he went in with the same performance and we placed 3rd out of 5 again. The last class was the Childrens Eq Flat and i was the only one who was in itXD so obv. i got first in that but he did everything right so i think he wouldve pinned anyways:)
With the Childrens Eq Course 1 and 2 i wasnt upset about him plaving 3rd cuz its right in the middle and these were NICE horses i was competing with and when i say nice i mean like auto lead changes and auto distancing to jumps which Hunter doesnt have yet so im so proud of him:)

Hunter 8/12 and Lesson 8/10
todays my birthday :) so ive had a busy week with friends wanting to hang out and stuff i went to six flags yesterday and hurt my back on a rollarcoaster...woo! lol ugh it hurts but i still had to ride lol
Hunter- Such a good little guy:) he walked trotted cantered nice and collected and extended he rele listened he jumped all my new jumps without an issue which was nice
MHJ FINALS IS COMING UP SOON!!!!! 0.0 sooo nervous.....ughhh Hunters great and looks good but his lead changes are aweful and idk how to clean them up ive tried poles, small jumps, circles, tight turns, spurs, and other things and nothing works on him it sucks...:( and to make it better apparently hunter has a mental clock in his head and after about 1 to 2 hours he shuts down COMPLETELY on me and wont even move like he got to the point where he went from jumping 3 ft oxers without a worry to refusing groundpoles so hopefully MHJ doesnt take more then 2 hours of jumping or he ll shut down and ill be sooo embarrassed:(

Rehoboth Fair:)
Hunter
He did really well he got 1st in horsemanship WTC, 2nd in Equitation, 2nd in Sit a Buck, and 3rd in Crossrails
When we first got to the fair i was mad cuz they were only ribboning up to 4th place and to make it even better the ribbons looked like science fair ribbons like legit i was like "What?! there giving us bookmarks this year?!!!" it was aweful and during my Pleasure Class (which we didnt place in) we were boxed in a the canter so Hunter got nervous and tried to rear before he cantered which obv. isnt to "Pleasurable"..... /but everything else went pretty good
Bella
My pony turnt into a crazy animal on my friend they only got 4th in Horsemanship During Pleasure they had to stop the class cuz Bella flipped out and tried to throw her im sooo disappointed in Bells....When i went to ride her in the Barrel race( they used jump stands as barrels?!) shes afraid of them it was aweful we got around the first one then she side passes at the gallop all the way to the exit of the arena it was soo embarrassing it was terrible and i had to act like it didnt bother even though i was ready to fall on the ground and cry my eyes out. I really thought she d do good at the fair but she really let me and my friend down big time...:(
