Jakes participated in the Fall Horse show this past weekend. And he has improved SO much since the last one. He's sitting straighter, heels are down even farther each time, and he's asking questions to make sure he understands everything. I am so proud of him!

| The day is started with a prayer for safe rides for everyone. |

Miss Nicole is giving final instructions to Freckles.
"Give her the ride of her life!" |
 |
| Miss Kathy also instructed Freckles on how to behave. |

Jakes rode MilkShake. This is him in two-point position.
The judge said he was in perfect position! |

| Sitting trot over the bar. |

| And of course, all his ribbons. Great Job Jakes! |
The day ended with a competition without the horses but that the kids love just as much. Its called "Down and Out". They set up a a jump, very low to start, then after everyone clears the bar, they raise it one level. This continues until everyone has jumped or missed. The last one standing wins the money.

| Check out the height my kid gets over the bar! |

| Oops! I missed! |
