🐴💗 Kip’s First New England Horse Show! | October 11, 2026
What a wonderful day at the Sunrise Horse Show!
Kip had his very first show in Massachusetts with me, and I couldn’t be prouder of him. He started the day a little anxious, but it didn’t take long for him to settle in, adapt to his surroundings, and show us what he’s capable of.
🏆 Our accomplishments:
* 🥇 1st Place: Beginner Halter
* 🥇 1st Place: Breast Cancer Awareness Equitation
* 🥈 2nd Place ribbon
* 🥉 Several 3rd Place ribbons
We definitely discovered a few things to work on! Kip has a little more speed in his Western Pleasure jog than we’d like, but that’s all part of the journey. Every ride is an opportunity to learn, improve, and build confidence together.
What makes me happiest isn’t the ribbons. It’s watching Kip grow, seeing him overcome his initial nerves, and realizing how much potential we have as a team.
This show was especially meaningful because I rode in honor of Kali during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀💗
A wonderful first show, a few lessons learned, and plenty of reasons to keep working toward next season.
I’m so proud of this boy and excited for everything ahead of us! 🐴💕
