Today was show day for Sara and Ricochet. We traveled to a local hunter/jumper show, where Sara competed in about 11 classes. The first video was from a class in which she took a blue ribbon. The second from a beginner hunter class. We're all very pleased with Sara and with the pony, as was Sara. He was the perfect pony today and she rode him well. She especially enjoyed the gaming (courses like barrel racing and pole bending.) My nieces and Sara's good friend Elizabeth competed too, which makes it a lot of fun. Sara ribboned in 10 of twelve classes (?I believe) with a variety of colors/places. It was a wonderful opportunity for her to see her hard work, and some trials end with reward. She had a hard ride yesterday (naughty pony), and so wasn't going to do all that she did today. We discussed the need to have faith, that God cared for her in this and about our need for prayer. She was able to do far more than she expected. So, a joyous ending.
