Cox's Fun Show
More pictures of everyone that attended Cox's Arena Fun Show series this year. When we decided to go it was primarily to see if April could be competitive in the games. What we learned is April not only had fun with it, everyone that went had fun! The skills you learn at home, weather English or Western, help when it comes to turning with speed and balance.

Thoughts on what we learned at Rolling Rock this year.
Again, I have to reflect on the partnership of the rider and horse. In the stress of competition, this partnership can make or break you.
1) Knowing you and your horse's strengths and weaknesses.
2) Riding often enough for you and your horses fitness.
3) Using your lessons, so that you have a plan to handle nervousness at shows. Learn to keep you and your horse on the aids, so that when the unexpected happens we are prepared to handle it.
"Showing" is the test for what you've learned at home.
