2010 Fall Color Classic APHA Show part 3

These 3 day shows (which are really 4 days) are long and hard on everyone.  We rarely see Stanley lay down so catching this picture was pure surprise.

After short naps on Saturday for everyone, we were off to watch Equestrian Girl and Stanley tackle the trail class.

Over the trot poles,

Then back the L.  (this was tricky because of the bridge being right there.  A lot of horses wanted to turn too soon to go over the bridge when they still had more backing to do.)

NOW forward over the bridge to the gate.

And finish up with a jog through the cones.

And the dynamic duo ended up completing their best class of the weekend with a 1st, two 2nd's and a 3rd from the 4 judges!!!
