We continued the season competing in the Rusty Stirrup division, which is a hunter and equitation division. The fence height is just 2' without oxers. I am really pleased on how well Gigi did this year, especially in the flat classes. The first few years I showed her, the flat classes were a nightmare (no pun intended). I think moving to the Anaheim Equestrian Center did a lot of good for her flat work because it is such a busy place and when I ride. Usually there are other people or horses in and around the arena. At my last barn, I rode late at night a lot of the time, which made for many lonely rides. At AEC, Gigi has become desensitized to being in the arena with other horses, and we often ride with people and commotion along the rail.
I have gotten lots of complements lately on Gigi's movement under saddle, and I think it shows, since we have finished in the top 2 of every Hunter Under Saddle class of this show series.
