IeA Team Meet at Findlay - Reining

Next up was reining (after a long wait for all the other classes to finish).  Same scene - mount a few minutes before your turn and wait with your coach for any last minute instructions.

It was a pretty simple reining pattern since the horses weren't wearing sliding plates.  Two circles to the left, two to the right, back up the middle and around to the right then all the way straight down the long side, stop, roll back, back to the other end, roll back, just past the middle to a stop and back up 1 horse length.

Equestrian Girl had a nice little horse but he wasn't happy about being in the arena again and tossed his head and complained a little.  She rode him great and ended up in 3rd!!  Another great finish.

At the end of the day, my girl ended up having qualified for regionals under just 3 judges!  You  can show under as many as 5 to qualify but it only took her 3 to lock it in!!
