Sari started horseback riding lessons at the end of last year and she has been doing really well. They have competitions called Gymkhana usually about once a month but since Sari started they have all been on Sundays so we haven't participated. Finally, they have moved to Saturdays so yesterday was Sari's first Gymkhana. She was a little nervous to say the least, especially because we had never even been to one so we had no clue what to expect. It was a bit overwhelming. Once we got there though and kind of figured out what was going on it wasn't all that bad. Sari did great and managed to make it through all 3 of her events. Sari's instructor had coached her several times on the fact that for Sari it wasn't about her time, but simply that she get out there and perform the event correctly and keep control of her horse. Her teacher at the end of the night complimented her several times on her control of her horse and her performance. She received ribbons for participating in her class. Overall it was a great evening, although tiring. Sari learned the importance of repetition in her riding lessons and has a renewed desire to get to her lessons and work hard!
