Olivia and Music rode in 3 classes. This was a Walk, Trot, and then she had to answer 2 questions. The judge asked what is in your hands and what is a frog. She was able to answer both questions.


They look like they are in deep conversation. What could they be talking about.


Daddy and Julia......Olivia's biggest sideline supporters. Don't they have the cutest faces.


The Blue Ribbon Team.....Music Man, Olivia and Brooke.



Olivia is rounding the corner and following the directions of the judge to Trot. She is checking her diagnals. Fantastic form.

Julia had a great time with all the ponies. She was a great support to Livi. She helped celebrate with pancakes, whipped cream and waffles at Sweet mama's.

It was an exciting morning for Miss Olivia. She earned her first 2 ribbons at her first show. We are sure there will be more..... Liv took a quick nap on the way to Sweet Mama's for a celebration lunch.

Olivia's first love and mom's second job.


Back to the trailer for some lunch and rest. Olivia gives him a little kiss and a pep talk "Great show Music". She couldn't stay away from him.


Music decides to take a little nibble out of Julia.


Another ribbon for Music and Olivia. We are all very proud. Check out Music's new earrings.


Brooke and Molly look on waitng for the outcome.


Music and Livi pas the judge. There is a hush from the crowd. Of course you can hear her mother's heart bounding a million miles a minute.

Her first show was July 5th At Old Field Farms, The Suffolk Classic. She is all dressed up waiting for her Division, Short Stirrup. But where is Music Man?

Olivia's Summer On Music Man

Olivia is spending her summer at the barn. She rides in the morning and after lunch. She has learned how to tack a horse (put on the saddle, briddle and girth) and untack when she is finished. She is grooming the pony and giving him a shower after the last ride. Most impportantly , Olivia is learning that having a pony comes with responsibility. Ans she is lovong it. She is even more confident and comfortable around the horses. We are in Big trouble !
