Horse Show yesterday

I went to a Piedmont Saddle Club Show yesterday. It was fun and really tiring. I rode Red, a chestnut gelding. WE took two horses. Daisy and Red.
Daisy's riders: Eden,Lillian,Brandy,Elissa.
Red's riders:Kaylie,Me,Elissa.

Everybody did flat classes while a few of us did the games on horseback.
Me & Elissa did ride-a-buck.
We both lost.
Linnea & Kim signed us up for as many classes as they could.
We also had to think up shownames on the spot.
Red was Big Red.
I don't know what Daisy's was.
We dared Linnea to go into the stick pony races with me and Elissa cause we were the oldest ones in there as the rest were 9 and under. (yeah we were embarrassed.).
Linnea WON!!! haha
We got a few ribbons. Not bad for the barn's first time showing ever.
We got anywhere from 1st to 6th. Elissa & I didn't get any riding ribbons because Red was a butthole and decided to freak during our classes. My 1st class i lost control and he nearly crashed with another horse where everyone from my barn was standing. They could all see my face. My 2nd class(ride-a-buck) I rode better and kept control of him. I had a martingale and used half-halts alot!
During Elissa's class he was just a huge butt. Thats pretty much all I can say. There are good and bad show days. And for me and Elissa it was the latter.
Sorry I have no picsright now. Battery was dead in my camera.
