Riding with Krysta

Well, I did it! 6 posts for the month of Sept. I had hoped to make it seven by posting on Monday or Tuesday but I didn't quite make it. But now I can aim for 7 in October!

Anyway, back on Sept. 20th Ben and I drove up to New Haven to watch Krysta ride in a gymkhana. For the first time, Ben was very into riding with Krysta and I got some great photos. Here they are!

Krysta & Eric watching the events
This would be a great photo if the fence wasn't in the way! These next two were taken during the Simon Says class.
Ben is telling Krysta he wants to go ride in the "shop" (the indoor riding ring).

This one is my favorite!
He even rode a little while all by himself! Krysta led Abby and I walked next to him holding onto the back of his pants (just in case!)
All that riding makes a boy hungry for some "hambbaburger"!

We got to watch Krysta ride in Simon Says (she got 2nd place) and Keyhole (another 2nd place finish) and also Sit a Buck (no place in that one). Ben had a great time and it was fun to see Krysta ride at such a fun and relaxed event. So Krysta is talking about Leadline class for next summer! So I guess we'll see! That afternoon we also drove down to Castleton to watch the women's soccer team play. I don't have any photos because Katie wasn't playing. Her foot is still sore but we got to see her after the game. I also got to watch a little bit of the game (it's hard to watch with Ben running around everywhere) and they won 6-0. It was a fun day and beautiful weather. But Ben was very tired from all that activity and no nap.

Next time I'll have to post about Avery's 2nd birthday party and our August trip to Echo with Gramme. Til then...
