Victory at Last!

WOO YAA!! I'm so excited! About a month ago my aunt leased me a new horse. Leo is a Hanoverian about 16.1 hands, and fleabitten gray. He's so cute but he has a grupiness issue when you put the saddle on and tighten the girth. He looks like a grupmy old goat when he's mad. But he's an excellent jumperand good mover. Over spring vacation we took him down to a horse show in Gulf Port, Mississippi for five weeks. I flew down every weekend to show him while my trainer stayed down there to ride him while i wasn't there. My first weekend after only haveing him for about a month I took 6th place in the pre-childrens which is a 2'6'' class. While I showed my other horse in the Older Childrens 3' class. The second week I took 2 first place ribbons and they came with 2 glass cups. The next few weeks I was in the ribbons on him. Then the last weekend I had to do three trips around the course because it was a classic round. I did my courses then i had to wait around until everyone else finished their trips. They then had to count up the scores. I got first in all three of my trips, then I got Circuit Champion for the whole five weeks! I was stunned and my trainer was very happy. Along with my ribbons i got alot of prizes. I got a stainless steel thearmas, a lead shank, two more glass cups, and a pewter plate that said Circuit Champion! It was my first big win, and I will now start showing him in 3' classes.
