Red Hills

This past Friday the family went to watch the Red Hills Horse Trials.  It is an annual event in our area and it is a pretty big deal as far as horse people are concerned.

It is Friday through Sunday and it covers dressage, cross country and jumping.  Friday was dressage and I figured it would be the best day for us to go.  Not crowded and we had other stuff going on for the rest weekend.

Anyway, Little Mama is quite the horse lover these days so she was excited.  The horses were beautiful and the riders were very skilled.  We learned a little bit about dressage that day.  It is French for training and it is kind of like an ice skating competition or ballet but with horses.

We had snack food, hung out with friends and took in most of the sites.  It was a beautiful day to soak in all the activity.








We are definitely making plans for next year . . .
