Nathan's First Horse Show

Our grandson had his first horse show this past Saturday. This first picture is of him and Terra before he rode. I love these two kids!It was so hot there. There were a lot of horses around and you know what comes with that....you got it.....horse poop! I will not wear sandals to one of these again. I didn't walk in any horse poop but the terrain is not meant for sandals.
Here is Nathan after he had his number pinned to his shirt. He had to remember his number because the judge would ask him what it was.
Terra gave him hugs and kisses for luck.
Up on his horse, Doc. Had his helmet on and he's ready to go!
He had to turn his horse in the other direction and then had to wait for the announcer to say they could go forward. The judge is watching them handle their horses at this point. He is not by himself, you just can't see the person leading the horse.
The judge is asking him questions like....What is your name?, What is your number?, How old are you? Looks like he did okay. Then they wait until everyone has spoken to the judge to leave.
Out of 7 riders, he placed 4th. Not bad for his first show! Of course there was a three way tie for 5th. Everyone gets a ribbon!
This is his riding outfit. Plaid shirt, blue jeans, belt and big buckle and of course cowboy boots. He didn't have his cowboy hat because he had to wear a helmet instead.
