Horse Show

This past weekend the twins competed in their first ever horse show.

The show was for our specific breed of horses Missouri Fox Trotters. (Gracie & her horse Sunrise)

The girls have been practicing for months with their trainer, Grandpa Buck.

The twins were the youngest competitors there by a long shot.  Here they are in the walk/trot competition.

 

The show has many events.  There is the gated walk & trot, versatility & ranch competitions, barrel racing & pole bending.  (that's Grandpa Buck barrel racing & the twins doing the walk/trot)

The girls did great & won a few medals & ribbons.

Mostly for participation.

Here they are riding around being judged.

Lined up for final judging & placement.
