Midland NMPHC Show - Driving and Hunt Seat

Weather-wise this was one of our nicest horse show weekends all summer.  We had cool nights and beautifully sunny days.  We were lucky - not too far south of where we were in Midland it rained most of the weekend!

This was our first show in a long time using someone besides ME as Equestrian Girl's coach.  we hired Mark Smith to work with her on Saturday.  They had great rides and worked hard on what he told them to do.  It really paid off on Sunday when they pretty much won every class under both judges.

Very few shows ever have the driving classes but this family usually brings out the carts and they look awesome!  Their horses are so well rounded - they do EVERYTHING and I do mean everything because they go from driving to riding to showmanship to speed classes!

This daughter is the same age as Equestrian Girl.  She's tiny.

Very serious young lady.  All the time.

Oooh, I got the evil eye in this one!!
