Last Trail Challenge of 2022
Saturday was the final Mountain Trail Challenge of 2022. We placed second in adult and first in open level 2, receiving our highest scores ever!
What a year! Jigs advanced from Level 1 to Level 2 through lessons, clinics, and practice. I am grateful for everyone who supported us this year. Without them, we would not have met our goal – to compete successfully at level 2.
To say I am proud of my horse in an understatement. I am blessed that we found each other. He’s a forgiving horse. My heart leaps when I hear his nicker.
Next year we start work on reaching level 3, which includes 360 degree turns on obstacles and cantering. It will be a stretch, but if we both stay healthy, we can get there with patience, time, practice, and a lot of lessons.
