That one weekend was a huge competition for the Region IV! It was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We drove down there, slipped through hail and I got very mad for what i apologized later. Just Organisation....and it's so obvious that i don't say a word about it sometimes.
After i knew the horses were OK, we went to the Hotel, had dinner there and talked quite a bit.
Next morning was early wakeup time. Did my volunteerjob after the horses had breakfast and we had a little practise. Then it was already turn for the Vaulters in Copper. So i went in with the other girls from Stellars Centaurs Vaulters and it was her turn first again.
Then it was mine and i was doing Ok but my stand wasn't that good.
After Lunchbreak it was our young trotters turn and walk. Also Barrel and Barrel Pairs for which some of them got my help. Others just didn't show up for practise or didn't show it...well Barrelclasses are for fun and this we definitly had.
Some of the classes finished already and they got their awards during a crazy rough rain came down. You didn't unterstand you own word in the arena...
For dinner we went to a mexican restaurant at the Plaza there and i enjoyed that i got to see a little bit of Albuquerque. Oh and the food was awesome! Just forgot that it was a while ago when i ate spicy...
Next morning was a little hectical because we thought the arena opens 30minutes later than it did...well, everything worked out fine.
Also I checked the results and i took 2nd place from the 10vaulters in the compround....i was surprised to see that!
Then the last round, freestyle came up and i did it like i practised...
That day were Teams, gold, silver and the trot freestyles also. Had fun watching but if you are there with a Club and horses you don't have much time to see other Vaulters... But luckily some time and at the end i got a ribbon for the 4th place over all! So in my freestyle i got 6th and the scores were crazy...(still don't get used to it) pretty happy with that! Love Calypso, she was cantering so nicely for me!
There were nice Regionals in New Mexico with a touch of their culture and weather. I enjoyed it there
