Dream is always willing to try new things. I try to introduce
him to some new class every year or so.
2000
We started doing games classes this year. We ran Figure 8 Stakes
and Keyhole, and Dream found that he got to RUN in these classes! He turned out
to be really good at Keyhole, and he earned his ROM in three shows! We finished
the year 3rd in the Nation in Open Keyhole!
1998
This time, it was Ladies' Side Saddle. We rode in our first show
in a borrowed saddle and skirt. We placed last, of course, but after that he
progressed quickly and was soon winning classes. He earned his ROM in less than
a year.
1997
We decided to start driving this year. I took him to a trainer
near us, and he wasn't sure how such an "old" horse (Dream was 11 at the time)
would take to it. Well, he was sure surprised when Dream pciked it up like he
had been driving forever! We went into our first show soon after, and placed
first under all four judges! |
