Roofus (a very cute and sweet 4 year old) and I (a very cute and sweet 22 year old) went and did a horse show today*. His first show ever and my first show in Ireland. We did the first two jumping classes, 60 and 70 centimeters, and had 3 clear rounds! They let you do your round twice so we got to trot the first time and then canter. Roofus won a red rosette in the first class and I think probably something in the second class as well but we left mid-class. Roofus was incredibly grown up and brave the whole time, and his canter is so uphill and balanced I felt like I was on an old pro sailing around the course. The ring next door was doing the pony starter class at the same time and I got to see some especially cute ponies and children with moms/dads/ instructors running alongside them as they jumped a whole course of fences.
Off to another event with the other horses tomorrow.
*I know, Roofus should try and be more modest, but he's only 4 and doesn't know any better.
