Jenn that was great! I love both show names. I love how Kate is with Duke when he gets nervous. So many people react, especially overreact, when a horse starts to get nervous and it escalates the situation. She did such a great job letting him know it was big deal by just ignoring his shenanigans and continuing on. Julia on Sparky reminded me of a one of those Thelwell pony cartoons, so cute. Excited for part 2.
SPOILER ALERT: If you liked how calm Kate stayed with Duke, just wait until you see what happened with Stevie! We had people come up afterwards and said they couldn’t believe how amazing she handled it!
Looking good! They can be a handful for their first show/outing of the season but you handled it nicely and everyone was so well turned out! Hope you all had fun.
ALRIGHT, THE DUKE JOHNNY BE GOOD, IS IN THE RING AND KATE IS RIDING HIM AND TAKING CROSS RAILS, ALREADY SUCCESS😁. JULIA IN THE BACK SEAT HAD HER GAME FACE ON, THINKING HOW AM I GOING TO SIT THAT TROT. YUP THERES A COMPETITIVE PERSON IN THAT LITTLE BODY. GREAT NAME AND GOOD REASON FOR STEVIES SHOW NAME, SHE IS GOLD WITH THAT WONDERFUL HALFLINGER DISPOSITION. LOOKING FORWARD TO THEIR RIDES 😁. Susan
Julia looked so great on sparky i love watching her ride him. I think Kate and Duke will be great in the show ring soon. I could definitly see them being like gabby and chino. Also just a question, how far away do you live from the barn?
Yes, Julia has only ridden Sparky a few times but really loves riding him. She has a hard time getting him into a canter sometimes, but once she has it, she is able to keep it pretty good. Last night at lessons she was a little firecracker going over the jumps with so much confidence! Keep your eye out for that video as well.
Good job Kate. Sometimes it is good to have your extra horse standing not to far from the ring so they could see or smell each other. I do this when I'm showing pasture buddies or foal and moms. At one time we were mark as a fault with a noisy horse in the ring. Tip when turning your horse turn your head and looking up and where you are going (wanting to go) when you look down your horse is misguided. Can't wait to see the next clip.
Thanks. I can understand getting deducted points for a noisy horse…especially the way Duke was carrying on, calling for Stevie non-stop. That is a good idea to bring the other horse closer to the ring.
Lol… I don’t know if he did or not, but I certainly wouldn’t blame anyone if he did. He was pretty noisy. We were just proud that he went in there! I am excited for the next show to see how he does.

Glad Duke went in ring , he did great and calling for Stevie well doing the course.
Thanks 😊. Yes, Duke was making quite a bit of noise the entire time, but he went in that ring and we were so proud of him for it. Baby steps!
How exciting is this?? I love the story of Stevie's show name! (Duke's name, too) :)
Thanks 😊. I am always driving them crazy when we are looking up names for animals and finding meaning behind it 🤣🤣🤣.
I love Stevie’s show name! And such a cool background story/connection to Stevie Nicks. I knew she was a rockstar.🤩
Exactly 😊… with a bit of rockstar shenanigans at the show… stay tuned! 😉

Thanks 😊. That’s exactly what we said too… just him going into the ring and trying to do the course was a success!

I hope Duke did not get deducted for making a noise he was just nervous . At lest he was doing the course .
