Nervousness made the events serious, but a relaxed pose should come with experience I assume.
But winning a blue ribbon for showmanship brought plenty of smiles.
The most fun was the 4-H costume event. In keeping with a patriotic theme since we have been heavy in studying Early American History lately, Rose chose to dress as Betsy Ross and ride sidesaddle. Her instructor has a sidesaddle and was more than happy to give Rose a lesson in this old-fashioned ladies style of riding. Actually we will be attending a sidesaddle demo and tea this Saturday afternoon. I am looking forward to it.
Even Riley must get into proper attire with a braided tail of red, white and blue ribbons.
An end never looked so good!

Congratulations to Rose! She looked gorgeous in her costume riding sidesaddle. :)
How nice. I remember a friends Mom saying, when I was young, that every girl needs a horse. I certainly agreed then!
I spent many hours with the horses and still have so many fond memories of those days.
Congratulations to your Daughter on her ribbon :)
