So we packed up the trailer, loaded the horses and took off for the first horse show of the season this past weekend. It was my second show ever on a reining horse and showing in the Open division (against other equine professionals) and my horses first show ever! Jessie brought along the dun colt up at the front of the barn named Hollywood, and another training horse - the cute roan mare for their first and second shows ever.
The drive was smooth sailing and the facility was great. It was hosted at the Michigan State University Pavilion and it was HEATED!!!
We rode into the night so the horses could have a chance to see and be in the arena with few other horses around.
Friday we watched a number of classes including western pleasure, english and western horsemanship, and hunter under saddle. We were the last class of the day and ran pattern 10.
I was very pleased with Peanut's performance even though we had a few -1/2 points here and there. We ended up placing 7th out of 14. 
We competed again on Saturday and had some good points in those patterns as well. We came home with a couple classes under our belts and some more things to work on!
