The SHOW

Karin was asked to put on a small vaulting clinic for the show and below is her effort. We think she and her new vaulting team did GREAT.

DISCLAIMER!I DID NOT TAKE THIS VIDEO. One of the mothers of a little vaulter did and the movement is the poor mom shaking in fear. Please don't watch if you get car sick. The kids did great. They nailed all of their dismounts and smiled for the audience.
This was actually a teaching vaulting clinic so those wanting to learn vaulting or those wanting to teach vaulting could learn all about vaulting!

Below is Steven Marchal with Evan. Steven started trick training Evan after the 2009 IL Horse fair down in Springfield, IL. Just LOOK how far they have come together!

He did very well for his first time in an arena by himself. Rhoda went to the show after we had left. Some people, and these were actually knowledgeable horse people, told Rhoda, Evan did very well, except at the end he fell over. We started laughing and couldn't stop. They really didn't think he just fell did they? Steven was actually behind Evan driving him when he asked for the bow, as there is pressure on the reins, Evan was sure Steven wanted him to lay down.
We had to rush back to the farm, the Springfield PonyClub was coming for a vaulting clinic. Well they came early before we were able to finish everything but all went well with that.


By the time they were leaving Kay Johnson showed up, she is bringing in a mare for Raven on Monday and wanted to make sure we would have room. Nope we will have to move some of ours out to make room, hate to turn down paying customers.
Steven brought out Ciera and worked on her bow and lay down. Ciera LOVES the laying down part. Steven is explaining to her he is getting on and she is to LIE still! AND SHE MINDS!!


Well like I said Ciera really likes that laying down part, she loved the attention and the kids could do about anything to her without a reaction. The pulling below was only for the picture, what was amazing is she didn't move until told she could, what a great 2 year old filly.

Karin pulled Eliza out and was working her while Steven was playing with Ciera. When Eliza finished, she gives Karin a big hug. She really likes Karin.

Super was the next horse worked. He is doing so well Rhoda actually trotted him a bit.

Today he was just pulled from the paddock and Rhoda climbed on. We had 7 horses worked today by all THREE of the Horsemeister TRAINERS! How blessed we are to have THREE talented trainers all working together!
What a great day, long but great, good weather, good friends and great horses.
