These are a few of the photos from the Madison County Horse 4-H Show that I judged last Summer. After a eventful Fall, I'm beginning to get things back in order. In above photo, Tasia and horse (Kia) are working the gate very well. She sits the horse well and isn't interfering with the horses movement. These manuevers must be performed one-handed in the trail class.
This contestant did well. If possible, "RELAX!" Keep your weight more centered.
Her horse did, in fact walk through the water! YEAH!
This was also executed nicely. If she would've dropped her hand slightly, her horses mouth wouldn't open. Many riders depend too much on their hands and not their seat and legs.
Time spent riding this horse paid off. She did well and stayed calm.
Tasia spent time with Kia and did well.
Love how Kia tunes into her rider.
Pretty picture, better with a SMILE!
Wherever your hands go so does the horse's head.
Sit in your seat in order to work with horse and not throw her off balance. This photo shows frustration.
Love the smile and she got points for that!
This was one of the cutest ponies!
I was impressed with the riders capabilities with this spunky little guy!
Happy Trails to You! Look forward to a great year of riding and life!
