My Second Show

On June 22-24 I had my second show. We arrived at Ledges early and schooled all the horses. I was so happy that we were there. My horse has been lame and our last show we only did flat. When we got back to the hotel we all went swimming and it felt like a dream come true. That was until the next day. When we got there my friend warmed up my horse. I got dressed, polished my boots, buttoned up my coat. Being at a horse show is the best thing ever. When my friend came back and I asked how my horse was, but by her frown and the shaking of her head I knew she was lame. I couldn't hold back the tears. They flowed down my face like a rushing water fall. I sat down on my tack trunk, looking at my horse. I thought 'Wow, we came here for nothing,'. That was when my trainer came up to me and said "The owner of the barn is sending us his horse, You need to be ready." The rush came over me and a huge smile crawled up my face. I have never ridden this horse before. But before I knew it I won an eighth place in long stirrup hunter classic and a sixth in limit over fences! That was the best day ever. It was worth the trip to the show and worth the crap from the people at the bar. I knew they were jealous.
