Pine Hill

We seem to be hitting Pine Hill during the weather extremes. Saturday was so cold! we worried the horses would be wild. But thankfully, the horses were very sane and we had good schooling sessions. And walking cross country courses will keep you warm!
Sunday was warmer - but it rained the entire time! The ground there holds up well to the weather as it's mostly sand, so the show continued.
SaraBeth rode Buddy - she was by far the most organized person at the show! She rode all 3 phases of competition really well and ended up in 2nd place in the Green as Grass division! Terrific for her first time out!
Kate rode Nate. They are still getting to know each other - it takes a long time! Their dressage and stadium courses were not the best, but they got it together for a great cross country run and ended up in 3rd place at Beginner Novice.
Sarah and Archie jumped up a level and did a great dressage test. Had some confidence issues as the jump courses suddenly got tougher, but powered thru. The cross country ended up clean and confident and FUN! They ended up in 6th place for Beginner Novice.
Even tho the weather was just miserable - the kids and horses did really great!
