WW: My First Horse Shows

I ran across some old pictures! These are some of my very first schooling shows on Shawnee, my dad's old horse. He was a 15.3h arabian x quarter horse cross and he was an absolute saint.

First show, I was ten years old here, turning eleven the next
month. That saddle was the worst!

Same show as above

This was later that year, I won a bunch of perpetual trophies
and then the show stopped happening so I kept them! My mom
says that this show made me think I was way too good lol

Third show I think, it was the following spring so I was eleven

Bonus picture- I was older here, maybe 14-15, for some reason
we brought Shawnee to our house and I got to sit on him in the
front yard! Fun fact, this house is now worth 2.3 million dollars,
it is a typical suburban 3br/2ba but it's located in the bay area
soooo yeah.

Shawnee in the pasture where my parents kept their horses before
they bought the ranch (and sold the above house for much less
than it is currently worth). He died in 2013 at 36 years old I think.
