Banquet 2018

I know that MHJA year-end awards banquet was back in November but I did not post about it. I am having a pretty crappy week and I find myself thinking about happier things so I thought I would remember and share that night with you. Even though we had some rough moments and were not able to ride in finals we ended up with some decent year-end ribbons: 5th Primary Adult Hunter (Winifred is not a hunter so this was a shocker! We missed 4th by only 1 point.), 4th Primary Adult Eq O/F, 6th Primary Adult Eq OTF, 6th Intermediate Adult Eq OTF, 6th Intermediate Adult Medal. Not bad for only 2 shows. (I did a couple more shows but only did the unrated classes.)

But even better than that was a fun night of getting all fancied up great friends. I always find it funny how hard it is to recognize some of my competitors when they look like “normal” people. Overall our bard did OUTSTANDING this year!!

Some of my favorite ladies!

For those of you who follow StampyandtheBrain my barn-mate in this picture will look familiar. Check out her impressive reserve with #notachestnut

I know that this is weirdly cropped but I didn’t feel like asking everyone for permission to post this but I just HAD to show you how AMAZING our barn did as a whole!

Weird side story from the night…… I received a text from a wrong number who was trying to win “me” back. He was confused by my response so I had to send a picture to prove I was not who he thought he was texting. LOL
