For Ellie's last two shows I had been able to see her go on both Pro days- Wed & Thurs. For Sonoma Strides & Tides I was only able to make it out for day 2. I had heard that Ellie had been a good girl but the competition was stiff. For some reason Sonoma wasn't running the Baby Green Division but instead had a 2'6" Open- which meant she had some former Derby horses, some current Derby horses, and just generally nice finished horses in her division. Naturally I was totally miffed about until she got 5th out of 19th in one of her classes.
OMG- yes- I am very aware that I am the overzealous Mom standing on the sidelines shouting asking why there are Varsity players in the JV league.
I think she's just about ready for Pre Greens!
Way to go Ellie!!
ReplyDeleteYeah I get miffed too, just wait until you have the big jumper imports from europe playing in your Pre Green division! That made me so angry!
ReplyDeleteI would also be miffed! She's looking fabulous though.
