Showtime Open Show

Another open show close to home at the Mt. Hood Equestrian center.  Kerry was aiming for her third buckle in the 13-Under catagory.

She and Lola have added the Halter class to their itinerary as they continue their path to competing in all the events.

The did very well, especially since it was an early class and it was COLD!  But as long as Kerry had Lola's squeezy bun wrapper in her hand, Lola looked  perky and ready to show!

Then it was on to a full weekend of English and Western classes.

Team Lola wrapped up the weekend with yet another 13-Under High Point award and a beautiful buckle for their success!

Time for a short break and then on to our last show
of the year next month.

Great job, Kerry and Lola!

Painted-N-Sterling Albany, OR

 This was the last APHA show for the season and Kerry was going for the 13-and-under High Point. It would be her first time showing in the English pattern class in addition to her English Pleasure, Western Pleasure, Western Horsemanship and Trail.  She would also be doing the Halter Mares class for the first time as it was required for High Point.

Great job in Showmanship!

All the stuff that goes with us

It was our first rain in almost 3 months and Friday was really wet, windy and chilly.  We lucked out though and Saturday was sunny and the rain held off until late Sunday afternoon.  Kerry and Lola had another great show weekend and did walk away with the High Point award in 13-and-under.  It was a great way to wrap-up their first season on the Paint circuit!  We are very proud of them both!  Here are some shots of the weekend.

Rhinestone Riders Open Show - Mt. Hood Equestrian Center

Its great having the Mt. Hood Equestrian Center just around the corner from the barn.  They have a number of open shows throughout the year which are fun and reasonably priced so Kerry and Lola can go in lots of classes.  Kerry had two goals; one was to win High Point at a show and the other was to win a belt buckle.

This was her first opportunity to go for both as the High Point prize was a belt buckle.  She was entered in both English and Western classes.

Trophies!!

Here are some of her best moments from the show!
