Day one had its own challenges with a cutting (?) clinic in the show ring outside the arena replete with a dozen horses or so at a time and the same complement of cattle being chased around in the yards and the instructor on the loudspeaker. And some wind… Most of the horses coped well all things considered and it can be counted as good exposure. 🍃 🐮 🤠 🐴

Bring on Day 2.

Kerry.
