Pine Hill fun

The one day horse trial at Pine Hill was a fun time. For once, it wasn't hot! Very wet, rain and drizzle off and on, but it kept the temperatures down to a reasonable level. The ground there is so sandy with a bottom that riding in it isn't really a problem at all, so the show goes on. There was a bit more than an hour hold Sunday when the lightning kept going off, but they are so well organized there, they caught up with the show and times posted pretty quick.
Hannah and Pistol did well, placed after dressage. Had a stop at the first fence in stadium (lack of attention on Pistol's part!) and the rest was smooth sailing. Her cross country round was clean and FUN. They ended in 5th place.
Kate and Wally had the best dressage ride seen yet. Clear and confident in the stadium round and the cross country went absolutely great. Wally seemed to be really having fun after the first couple fences, seemed like he was looking for that next fence and ready to do anything! They ended up in 4th place.
What a great weekend!
