Horses: This is Equestrian Girl's English Equitation pattern at the show on Sunday. The pivot at the far corner is a forehand turn. Stanley stepped into it a bit which was probably the biggest flaw of the pattern. And yes, he's on the wrong lead for the canter, it was supposed to be a counter canter and you can see him fighting it by not wanting to turn! Luckily they have been practicing counter cantering quite a bit because at first he would insist on switching his lead back to the correct one. This is the class where one girl fell off just after her pattern lining up for the rail work and the judge placed her 3rd. Nobody quite understood that - we all though falling off was an automatic DQ.
Motocross: Messed up clutch a
nd blown transmission. But if there is good news its that a friend volunteered to help Scott fix it for FREE. He just has to buy the parts. Whoohoo!!! Happy Dance for that little gift. This guy has two sons that used to race but now one is at college and the other is focused on golf. He misses messing with the bikes apparently.
Speaking of golf...Motocross Boy is at his 3rd lesson today. He left here looking so handsome in his khaki shorts and golf shirt!! I never knew he had such nice clothes...
Homeschooling: They didn't believe me but this morning both kids had assignment sheets waiting for them! Equestrian Girl has already done a good portion of what I assigned her for the week. Motocross Boy hasn't even started. He's going to end up missing out on something as he struggles to get back in the groove of school again...happens every time!
OT: I've been playing around with digital scrapping and slowly learning Photoshop. This is a layout I just did of Equestrian Girl that I thought turned out pretty good.

They make a cute team. I do think you're disqualified if you fall off the horse. But who knows, maybe the judge figured she finished her class so it didn't count. Or maybe she just felt sorry for her.
Your photo shop picture came out really nice.
