Went back to the horse show. Really wish that Becca was here. She would really enjoy these shows.
Things that I learned.
That prancing horse dance is called canter and is a joy to watch.
There is a man that plays an organ and the horse and riders ride in step with the music.
The long tail that reaches the ground is not real. It is a hair piece... we saw one in the barn last night.
The announcer is a very important part of the show.
The coaches are standing just outside the arena coaching as their rider come by them.
The rider is constantly talking to their horse. We learn this when we went ring side.
This a sport for all ages and requires a lot of effort and money.
This is a pro am benefit show and is a big deal. They support breast cancer pink ribbon charities and Ronald McDonald House. I went around and placed a bid on all of the silent auction items that did not have a bid and got 4 of them. You can buy a toy pony and throw it in the ring and the closes wins and the Ronald McDonald house gets half the money. I missed , but I like this charity anyway.
They love feeding people at these horse shows. Tonight they invited us to a late night breakfast buffet.
