Another Horse Show

We went to Escanaba this past Sunday to watch Nathan in another horse show. He was in two events...lead line trail and lead line. The difference between the two is that he has to maneuver his horse more. Here he is before going into the barn. He sits up on that horse so nice and tall.

Look at that posture. He gets so serious sometimes, but then he will turn his head and stick his tongue out at you. I guess he's just a silly one.

This picture shows his hands better and how he needs to hold the reigns. He's just so stinkin' cute!

It's kind of a dark picture but this is inside the barn where the lead line trail course is. He had to walk his horse thru the poles and on the left were some cones he had to bring his horse thru.

He got a fourth place and was so happy to get his ribbon.

Here he is with his horse, Lakers Chocolicious....."Doc". He is a beautiful horse and Nathan is so small next to him!

There was a horse that was spooked while Nathan was riding inside. It knocked down it's handler and took off with a two year old girl on it. The littel girl didn't want to ride anymore and the horse just wasn't able to be settled down. That's what scares me about this sport/hobby....these horses have good and bad days......you never know when something will spook them. They are such big animals and I worry about my little grandson getting hurt.

I love this picture of Nathan and Pepper. You can just see how much they love each other.

It was a fun day and we were able to take Nathan home with us when he was done with everything. We took him to get a cheeseburger because he said he was starving and then headed back to Calumet.

This Saturday he is going to be introduced to the Little Dragons karate class. I know he'll have fun doing that and of course, I will post pictures.
