So yesterday River and I went to an ACTHA (American Competitive Trail Horse Association) Competitive Trail Challenge hosted by our barn!
...and this happened:
5th in our division in our first "real-life horse" competition ever (for both of us individually and together), with no coaching and not much exposure to the obstacles ever! I am SO PROUD of my boy!
...and I think I'm hooked! And Riv came cheerfully up to meet me in the pasture today, so he must not think it's too bad either. ;)
More details coming! I'm hoping for pictures from my friend's parents and from the ride photographer before too long. :)

That is WONDERFUL! Can't wait to see more photos!
