Whiscalina's Show Debut

Since we missed the training show last weekend Whiscalina made her first show debut this Saturday. We took her over to Venture Stables in Freetown Friday evening to get her familiar with the surroundings. We had a lesson with Sue that evening and introduced her to the show ring and she was very good! She didn't look at anything and it was like she had done it for years!

We entered in the training level I test early Saturday morning. She did everything I could ever ask her! I was absolutely thrilled with her! In our first test we received 64% and got a second place ribbon. She second test went even more consistent and relaxed; this was reflected in a little higher score of 65% and again a second place!

I was so extremly happy with her! As a 3 year old going to her first show I never could have asked and hoped for more! All she wants to do is please us, anytime and anywhere!

We had also entered her in the Sunday show in two training level tests. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain Saturday evening and night. The show ring had gotten very wet and heavy. Since she is still young and did so wondeful on Saturday and wanted to end things on a positive note we did not feel the footing conditions were well enough to enter her again on Sunday.

Whiscalina will now be on a break for several weeks. She certainly deserves it after all the hard work and many new things she learned during the last few weeks. I'm sure she will enjoy the green grass!
