Horsemanship at Sapphire

One of Equestrian Girl's favorite classes is Horsemanship. This class has the team doing a pattern which is judged mostly on the rider's equitation but also on the accuracy of the pattern itself.  Horse and rider both must look perfect in their execution of the pattern.

Equestrian Girl takes this very seriously.  This isn't a smiling pleasure class.

 I love that you can see her giving a little smooch sound to Stanley.

 And the slightest hint of a smile as they come around the last turn to finish!
