Horse Show- First Blue Ribbon!

Madelyn had an exciting night at the Twin Brooks Horse Show last night! She was able to participate in 4 classes and 1 of those 4 was jumping. She was so excited to be competing.

 
 
 
Calm, confident and possibly a wee bit nervous

Cristy Ritchie, Madelyn's trainer at Hanoverdale Farms watching....and coaching.
 
This was her first time jumping in a competition and she did great!
There were nearly 20 riders in her class, most of them have been competing for a while.

 
Whoo hoo! 1st Place, she smiled the rest of the evening.
 
Also, her friend beside her placed 1st in the Western division. Madelyn and Lexi go to school together and and have run into one another all summer between 4-H and horse shows.

 Mya our neighbor! I Just love running into neighbors at these events.
Its another way for our families to connect and build relationships. 

 
 
Some of our friends came to support! Thank you Nancy. Josh, Brenda, Maranda and Walt for coming to support Madelyn at the show.
 
 

Maranda spent the day helping. Thank you for all your help
 

 

Madelyn and Logan helped hand out ribbons after she finished
 

We are so very proud of Maddy and Beau the horse.  They made a great team and placed in every class she competed in.  She placed 1st in jumping, 4th in two "Flat Classes" and 6th in one class.
 
 

Big hugs!!! Well done!
