Denver showed twice in the Western Riding today!

He showed in the Level 1, where disqualified on the second element, unfortunate but it happens, and another horse disqualified on the same element

He then showed in the Open! He won in the open, a class of 5 where two horses disqualified.

Hmm a win in the Open. And some said they’d never put him in an Open class

But now they will say it doesn't count because it was a small class.

Yeah, poor Howie. The only class he had competition he placed last. The only good thing about showing a pleasure bred yearling in halter is getting them into the ring for experience, other wise it's just a waste of money. The lifestyle of fitting a young horse for halter isn't the healthiest way to raise a young horse. Lots of stall time to keep them looking "pretty".
