Aly and Dani hanging out in the hay mangers of the horse trailer at last weekend's horse show in Sooke (Behind the Scenes at the Horse Show?). This was Aly's first show - she and her pony Emma (peeking out over the ramp) competed in pole bending, trail class, English pleasure, English equitation, tack and turnout, and barrel racing - all in the leadline division. This means that a very hot, huffy-puffy Auntie Nikki did a lot of running around in the sun at the other end of the leadline while Aly chortled and bounced her way through all her classes. Great fun for all and Aly came home with a fistful of ribbons and two trophies! Quite a haul!
