September update

September flew by.  We did not do much out of the ordinary.  Sophia continues to ride horses and compete.  She was in the in-house show where she took home three 1st place ribbons and a 5th for the obstacle course.

She also rode in the September Schooling Series.  She moved up a division in the fall series and did well in her first show.  She got 5th place for the walk/trot class, 4th place for walk/trot/canter and 3rd for poles in the beginning equation class.  She took 5th place in walk/trot and 4th place for walk/trot/ canter in short stirrups.
We rented a locker at the barn so we don't have to lug her gear back and forth.  She loves having the locker.  I guess she thinks she is one step closer to owning a horse.  She has been riding Ella.  Ella tripped after a jump and Sophia hung on.  She did amazing.

Steve and Sophia went to the aquarium on one of their days off.  It is nice they get to do special things together when school is closed.

Our pets are all doing well.  Otto is learning to tolerate Kaegogi.  Kaegogi just wants to play with him.  Hopefully in time this will happen.  Mr. Twinkletoes loves playing with the dogs.
