Scottsdale!!

I'm back from Scottsdale! This year was great. It was probably the most fun I've had at this horse show. I got there on Wednesday and practiced. Then on Thursday I rode for the first time. We rode in a regular class but didn't get anything. Then we rode in an Equitation class and got 5th place! This year, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show was the biggest in the world! So that means I'm 5th best in the world! Wow! On Friday we rode again and he was horrible. He was crazy the whole time. We didn't get anything. They worked him really hard and so on Saturday we ended up getting a chance to be in the finals! They called 11 finalists from a class of about 17 girls. We were also in another class but the judges didn't like us so we didn't get to go on to the next round. On Sunday we rode in the finals. This was a huge class. Both in size, and importance. We rode amazingly but the judges didn't like us and we didn't get anything. But hey, this was the first Scottsdale where I actually earned a ribbon! Way to go Slick! We have another show at the end of March and we are going to bring it all home. :)
