I'm so proud of my granddaughter, Skylan, who rode Foothills River Queen in her first horse show (not on a lead line)!). It was the Smoky Mountain Horse Show Series (SMHSS) this one held at the McMinn County Park. She rode exceptionally well, using all the skills she has worked on practiced so hard, and also was super organized. I announced for the show part time, so I gave her the list of classes that she was entered in, and she made sure to get tacked up and into the arena on time, memorized her showmanship pattern and groundrail courses, and knew what was required in each class, mostly on her own! Super proud of number 99!!!!

 SMHSS 6/27/20 Placings:
Youth/Junior Handler Showmanship - 6th
Youth/Junior Groundrail Hunter - 4th
Youth/Junior Groundrail Equitation O/F - 6th
Youth/Junior Hunter Under Saddle W/T - 6th

Nice job showing Foothills River Queen, in their first dressage show together and Kris's first in a long time:-) And if they gave awards for turn-out, you definitely would get the blue!
Well done, Krista Hughey!
