Tall Pine News

*Show Season is here!*

A happy Tall Pine Crew on the bench after the 1st show of the Barre Riding and Driving Club's 2009 Show Series. Even spending a soggy day in the rain couldn't dampen the spirits of this bunch, with Julia and Shannon each taking Championship in their divisions. Alex also took a collection of ribbons placing in the top 3 in 3 out of five classes.

Kelly and Shannon started out the day with Molly in Lead line class. Shannon did very well and even got her diagonals correct. I'm sure this Mother and Daughter team will go a long way!! Shannon was all smiles as she accepted her first 1st place trophy of the day!

In the 12 to 17 year old class, Julia Westwell came home a big winner riding Chai. Pleasure - 1st place!, Equitation - 1st place!, Disciplined Rail - 1st place!, Championship class - 1st place, Trail - 2nd place, and a big trophy and ribbon for Day End Champion in her class. Way to go Julia!!!

In the 11 and under walk / trot class Alex placed in the top 3 in 3 out of 5 classes. She did very well for her first show. Alex receives some between rounds coaching from Kelly.
		Even Mass got into the action with rider Gale also taking home a collection of ribbons.

Check back for more show news on the rest of the Series and other shows coming up soon.
