Dream Dancer Horse Photography

     Sunday was just as eventful. As you might know, we have been looking around for a club that has a few schooling shows this year. We have been away from showing for more than a few years so we wanted something casual and fun just to school our horses and get the rust out of our old bones. Since our horses are in Marmora we didn’t want the shows to be too far from there so that we could make several trips if we decided to take more than 2 of them. While surfing the inter-web I found the Gateway Horse Riders Association in Tweed (see our “links” page) so we headed up from Belleville to the Tweed Fairgrounds bright and early Sunday morning for a peek. We had such a good time that the peek lasted all day. The organizers and competitors welcomed us like we were old friends. The show ran extremely smoothly and we even got in the spirit by helping out the ring crew. I was absolutely amazed at the younger riders. Some of them looked like they were barely old enough to tie their own shoe laces but they were pros in the saddle. Confident, competent, and having a great time. I hope that this old man can do as well. There was, of course some beautiful horses and skilled riders and we couldn’t help taking a few pictures. I have created a new page titled “Gateway Club Show” so you can have a look. This club felt like home and we have decided to become members and join in the fun at their next show. If you’re looking for some schooling shows a little more than 30 minuets from Belleville then check them out. You’ll be glad you did and Nancy and I look forward to meeting you there.
