Winter Jump Series Finale.

This weekend was the final show for the North Wind Winter Jump Series.  Heading into the show, Sidney was in the reserve champion position (2nd place).  We were super excited at the prospect that she had a shot at one of the titles.  She went into the series having never done this with Pigeon before and have only done it herself once last year and only ground poles.  I even remember the first show, she was a ball of nerves.  I think she may have attempted 2', but certainly not 2'3".  My dad even made a comment at the last show that she and Pigeon seemed so incredibly relaxed and at ease.  The way it works is that the horse/rider must have attended 3 of the 5 shows in the series.  Points are awarded based on placements for each event/show.  She did very well in the final show.

Here is a close up of one of the ribbons that she earned for one of the individual events.

She and Pigeon had a great day.  Jayde, her friend from the ranch, was also in the running for her division.  They both worked so hard and managed to earn awards in their division.

Jayde was awarded Champion for the senior low division and Sidney took home Reserve Champion for the junior low division.  Way to go ladies!

Pigeon even received his very own sash.  Way to go Piggy!
