Horse Play

This weekend was quite an eventful one.  Of course it was Easter weekend, (more on that later) but our family had another event to attend.  My daughter had her first big horse show!  She was excited, but I think I was more excited and nervous than she was.  What's funny is that the only event she was riding in was a lead line class, which is just the kid riding on the horse's back being led around on a rope by an older kid.  Granted, some skill is involved, and it was her first real show, but I really got all worked up over nothing.  All that preparation and nervousness for a little three-minute ride around half the arena.  I was happy though.  She got a blue ribbon and looked absolutely adorable in all her equestrian garb.

Just look at that face.  Who wouldn't love that face?  I know, I'm her mom and I'm a little biased, but, come on!  Gorgeous!

My friend Laura saw K (my daughter) all dressed up and exclaimed how she was just going to start dressing like that so people would think she's a "horse riding girl" too.  Let's hope they don't ask her any questions about riding or horses in general.
