I Unicorn

Another part of the opening part of the jousting that I liked was the grey unicorn. 

 While I really liked the queen’s dress( I love gold and purple combinations) and her ability to do an awesome job as being a queen, the horse she rode caught my attention too. 

The bridle was very interesting.
But who wouldn’t want to ride a unicorn? Even if it wasn’t a real one. :)

At Dawn, The Ladies Ride

One of my favorite things last night was watching the jousting by Round Table Productions. But before the jousting started, the ladies took the stage (err–arena).
The Queen entered first.

Then her ladies followed. At the end of the jousting they rode around again.

They all rode side saddle, so that was a cool effect.
The Queen said something along the line that side saddles don’t hinder the ability for them to ride any less than an astride person. She was right and wasn’t messing around in showing so. 
One lady did not ride, but instead led her horse around so everyone could see the saddle, which was an English Side Saddle.

Farm Show 2015

I went to the Farm Show today. 
This year my schedule didn’t match up as perfectly as it did last year, so I was worried that I would miss this.
I didn’t! 
I went later and watched the Equine Showcase.
I saw the tail end of the Draft horses.
Then I watched a drill team,
jousting, 
mounted shooting,
and saw miniature donkeys and horses.

Now I’m off to finish off a tween book and write the questions for the book club tomorrow!
