Passing the Time

This week Rachel has been riding several different mounts in the barn.  One is the cutest large pony which arrived on Tuesday evening, a grey Welsh x QH who goes by the name "Martini". Make mine a double!!

Today Rachel attended a Silver level show at Ashland farm and rode "P Spice" for Westar Farms.  A lovely mare with just a wee bit of attitude!  (the horse and ok, sometimes the rider).  Rachel had one of her riding friends grooming for her, so Dad and I arrived when we wanted (not the ungodly hour of 6:30am) and watched 2 classes before departing for the golf course. 

The speed class was exciting with 8 riders advancing to the jump off.  Rachel and "P" won the class with a blistering pace of 33 seconds - a full 4 seconds faster than the 2nd place competitor.
