Potholes in My Lawn

For now the snow is gone, providing a chance to fill the potholes the horses have made from stomping in one location all winter long...
Dad had a great time out on the "tractor"...
and little Corky put on his serious face for the occasion...
The horses are for whatever reason content with the "grass" having eaten hay all winter long...
A dull week at the farm, but it's just perfect...

MHC Eq goes to Smith...

The last regular show of the season brought the team to the barn of Smith College.
UMASS ended up winning the show but MHC clinched the Regional title!
Dad came with his camera, and everyone was happy!
Our traveling buffet...
My faithful steed and I winning Novice flat!
So we got reserve... BUT we won the Region and we're going to Zones! (which works out well since we're hosting Zones!!!!)

IHSA debut

In case two days of hosting an intercollegiate horse show wasn't enough, this weekend we did it again! This time MHC hosted an IHSA show.
IHSA home show is a lot different than IDA...

There was horse holding of sorts...
and UMASS riders spreading the love...
And some blurry loose ponies...
And fast running Dakota horse, Freddy, decorated as a wonderful Birthday present...
a little Hannah Montana...
some senior lovin'...
AND THEN FINALLY: My first IHSA class ever! Novice Flat aboard Jake! I won!
Then the team won the show! BY A LOT!
It was such a crazy awesome day!!!
