Had a great time at the SE regional. My mom and grandma were unable to
go, so my pony Nick and I hitched a ride with the Schoppas. I lived in
the Dykstra's nice bus, enjoying healthy meals and satellite TV every
night. Since I was unable to show Nick (he was sore), I shared the pony
that I rode last year, Avitars Peppy Perfection, with Ashton Boettcher.
So it turned out that the only thing I used that was actually mine all
weekend was the tack and show clothes. I was a real bum.
The regional was fun though, saw lots of friends and scored some sweet
Brooks and Dunn prizes. I won Hi-pt boys equitation (only 13-18 boy who
competed in equitation classes), so I got a little cooler/radio.
The Oklahoma kids did really well at the show- Both 8&U high points
were Okies (Alaina Mckenzie and Allison Bizone), Parris Schoppa won the
High Point Multiple Pony with Tippy and Jaxon as well as Hi Point
Equitation 13-18 Girls, and I got Res 13-18 boy and Hi pt Eq 13-18 boy
(again, just cuz I was the only boy!).
