This year I learned....

Well, show season is over, and it's getting colder. So, I decided to review what I learned this year:

I learned to....

....Lunge
....Canter
....Pivot (on the ground and in the saddle)
....Do Showmanship
....Quarter
....Open a gate while on horseback
....Post and canter without stirrups
....Do Equitation
....Love Equitation
....Memorize patterns inside and out....and then again
....Not be afraid when a horse gets hyper



And this year, I....

....Got a new horse
....Actually got a horse trailer
....Won ribbons at my first show
....Took the intermediate high point at the Bureau County 4-H fair
....Got eighth place in Hunter Showmanship at the State Fair Junior Horse Show
....Won third place in Equitation at the Bureau County Fair


All in all, I would say it was a fantastic year, I love my horses, and my main goal is still to have fun. :)
