This past weekend there were almost fifty horses and ponies representing 15 breeds at the 7th Annual Cedar Creek Pleasure Driving Show in Greenville, TX. It POURED for several hours on Sat during Cones but the judge said if he could see the horses, we'd keep driving. At least we had a covered arena for our holding area! I took 4 young drivers, 4 minis, one pony, and 2 dogs for the weekend. The comraderie is amazing, the compitition was tough, and I learned soooo much. Patty did her presentation Friday night from her trip this summer to Young Drivers Camp--I am so incredibly proud of her.

So--lots of pictures. Ask any question, make any comments--the kids did great. Everyone but me and Blue took home at least one blue ribbon, but I couldn't be prouder of his 3rd place in Cones :aktion033:
Carriage Dog to Ride (which has turned into a Costue Class for Dogs in our Club)
Cones in the Rain (to be driven to the tune "Singing in the Rain")
Praire Pace--the VSE's went last, and the trail was literally knee deep in mud in some spots. Robin had to get out at one point to lift her cart out of the mud. It had cleared up by then though, and the scenery was so pretty.
Gambler's Choice Obstacle: Patty went so fast with Echo she ran out of things to do (and got to show off her one handed driving skills), my pony Blue had a few "issues" but we worked through them, Katie and Doug learned backing is harder than it looks!
and last, a few shots from the rail classes.
