At Dawn, The Ladies Ride

January 17, 2015December 28, 2024Kristian Beverly4 Comments

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

January 17, 2015December 28, 2024Kristian Beverly4 Comments

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!

Horsemanship

November 12, 2014December 28, 2024Kristian Beverly2 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I went to the PA State 4-h show with Lizzie.
I was able to make one of her classes, which was horsemanship. Each horse and rider rode a pattern in front of the judges, which consisted of different movements.
