Week 14: More horse showing, wedding

First, some pictures from Ken (Adam's uncle) and Melissa's wedding, since this is how I am sharing them with Paula and Jim:


Ken and Melissa's wedding was at the Mohawk Country Club.


Adam tying his tie; the bride with her mother, daughters and stepdaughters.


Amusements: taking pictures and Ophelia the Chair.


Exchanging rings and the great escape.


Pictures after the ceremony and the beautiful quilt Jim made for a wedding present.

Now, pictures from the Columbia Horse Center Adult In-House Show last Friday. (I do still like math, but it's wayyy less photogenic...)


Some action shots.


The scores were close, but I managed to hold up part of my tradition by coming in dead last in the trail class -- Gremlin didn't trot over the trot poles (which have their name for a good reason). He did execute a lovely turn and halt in this little box, though. I (and one other rider) got a special dispensation on the last trail-class event, too: our horses are afraid of water bottles (???), so we high-fived Carolyn at each end of the jump standard, instead of moving a water bottle from one post to the other.



Javier organized a Musical Chairs class with a $50 prize. It came down to a photo finish, but Javier won.


Waiting our turn (not so very patiently) for the jump course.


Jumping!


I won first place in the Advanced Walk-Trot Pleasure class!
