Pacific Slopes Arabian Horse Show

Pacific Slopes is historically one of southern California's most prestigious shows. This year was no different and many trainers came from all over to enjoy the beautiful Santa Barbara climate and atmosphere.

The kids were so exicted to show at Santa Barbara and Hannah & Jessica came along to help at the show even though they weren't showing.

On Saturday the kids served ice cream and helped raise money for the Region 2 Youth Judging Team. We escaped to the beach (& Blender's) as often as possible.

We also found good times in the show ring. Julia & Chinois swept the PB Country even though she was competing against the adult amatuers.

A Pac-Slopes Championship is such a huge honor! Ashley earned two firsts, two Reserve Championships, and one Top 5! She even placed in a nice Medal class - and it was her first one!

The boys really represented. Payton was a total star and crowd favorite in the English (his first time) and Cooper and Cassanova just got better and better in the Country.

Mostly, we just had loads of fun and really enjoyed the show and the location to its fullest!

Beautiful Weather, More Riding with Friends

Spring is here and the sun is shining. The horse's blankets are tucked away and there are no shows for a few weeks which means long, lounging riding days, detailed baths & spa days for the horses, spring cleaning, driving the mini's, etc.

We are taking advantage of the extra ride time to learn new skills and more challenging things with our horses. Everyone is stepping up to the occasion and riding better and prettier.

One of my favorite sights to behold is a group of kids on beautiful horses strolling through the pastoral streets of Hidden Hills after a great lesson. Horses are happy, kids are happy!
