This picture is priceless!!! I love both Reno's expression as much as I love Ella's.
Ella and Rachel are ready for their first class- lead line.

Are we not loving this little old cowboy judge?
Ella now mounts up to do the walk and trotting class!
In the first walk & trot class, Reno would not trot. Ella's little legs were moving and her heels were kicking as hard as she could be Reno was just too content with walking. For the second walk & trot class, Ella brought her whip and that made Reno start to run (canter). Ella was holding the whip in one hand and the reins in the other so when Reno started to move so fast, Ella began slipping out of the saddle. My heart sank and I inhaled deeply as my little five-year-old stayed level headed and regained control of herself and the horse. She finished out the class, following the judge's instructions which included: walking, trotting, reversing course and then backing up your horse. My pride swelled as I saw all the hard work Ella has been putting in to achieve her goals. Way to go little cowgirl!!
Look at Ella competing with children twice her age and even an adult! Way to go Ella!
One of the classes only had one student- Ella! So Ella won first place! Reno is checking out the grand prize to see if there are any carrots in that saddle bag!

Ella, I can't believe how good you are getting in your horse shows! That is just fantastic! And you look so grown up as you lead your horse, as well as ride it. Papa and I are so proud of you!
