2016 USPC Championships -- Eventing and Tet

I love watching cross-country. Unfortunately, I failed to get very many nice pictures on account of the distance and shaky bleacher/hands. But here are a few of the decent ones. 

Here are a few of the jumps on the course.

Here are a few pictures of the show jumping phase of Tetrathlon.  It is like a normal showjumping round (timed, rail penalties, etc) but the competitors must open a gate while mounted an dismount and lead  horse over a slip rail fence.

2016 USPC Championships -- Show-Jumping

I was delighted to have the chance to take some awesome pictures of jumping.

I love this little gray pony. He zipped around the courses so fast I hardly got any pictures!

I love this Appaloosa/POA.

The jump is almost bigger than him!

Love this roan pony!

You want me to jump WHAT????!!!!

Not everyone had a perfect round...

Please come back on Friday for the final segment -- pictures of Eventing and Tetrathlon!

Dressage. Training. Elegance. Dressage is a dance performed by the horse and rider. It is stunning to watch and gives opportunities for many lovely pictures.

2016 USPC East Coast Championships -- Mounted Games

 Mounted Games is one of the most fun disciplines to watch and take pictures of .

Picking a ball of a cone from the back of a pony is harder than it sounds

 This handsome fella was one of my favorite ponies. He got really into these games and is the perfect example of a perfect games pony.

Housewife's Scurry

This cutie was eager to go!

There was even a Norwegian Fjord playing the games! So much fun!
                  

Some of the Games teams went all out on decorating and matching items.

Look at that face paint

Waiting for the Games to commence.

Stepping Stones

Balancing a tennis ball on a racket ball is so difficult, most of these riders performed the game at a trot.

Vaulting -- what takes you from amateur to professional in games.

Visit on Monday for pictures of Dressage.
