Ashland Farms

Kinsey had an awesome opportunity this weekend at Ashland Farms Pony Club show.  Neither of us was too sure of what to expect, but the day turned out to be incredible!  Kinsey competed in the 2-foot jumpers (first time over anything other than crossrails) and did great!  She completed the 10-jump course perfectly!  After the first event, the riders got the chance to go out to the cross country course and school for a bit.  Another first for Kinsey!  They absolutely had a blast jumping over logs, running through water and up hills, and leaping up embankments!  Finally, her second event was the 2'6" jumpers.  When I saw those jumps, I must admit I freaked out--the were ENORMOUS!!!  Kinsey was no doubt scared too, but wanted to give it a shot.  They went in for their course, jumped the first fence beautifully, but refused the second jump twice and left the ring.  I was so proud of her for getting out their and trying something new and challenging!  It was a wonderful day!
