The "Pink Ribbon Classic" Horse Show

"Ride for the Cause"... that's what I prefer to call it.
We attended the Pink Ribbon Classic Horse Show
in Meadville, Pa. over the weekend. A wonderful
Charity event sponsored by the Tri-State
Saddlebred Association.
Sarah was not able to take the two "newbie" 1/2 Arabs that
she had planned on debuting there, due to her broken ankle,(All she could bring to the show was her "bright pink cast" and crutches) however her
new student, Kelsey McGinty was able to go.

Kelsey had not traveled with us before as she has only been a student for 6 weeks and there was a period of adjustment for all of us.
What does she know, what does she like, what is the horse like, what does he like. What do we like, what does Sarah like.

Wants and needs all rolled into one big weekend!

Except for the fact Kelsey and her mother Carrie
got sick (Kelsey had to vomit before riding in her
class on Sat, which meant she would not be able to
compete in the two championship classes that she
and "Eddie" had qualifed in), she gamely mounted
and put on a happy face, and rode well!

A great kid, a great Mom, and a great Horse!

Wait until spring! She'll give 'em a run for their money!
