Poplar Place Farm Horse Trials
OK, if these two look cold it is because they were. The temp was 28 degrees, with a 30 knot wind and snow flurries. This farm is located on Pine Mountain in Georgia. Phanny saw steep hills for the first time and seemed to like them. On cross country she raced up a huge steep hill, jumped a roll top at the top and landed heading down the hill on the other side. Kind of like a roller coaster. She loved all of the excitement and new jumps but questioned the need to go in the water jumps. (She prefers sunny days at the beach for her swimming.) There were riders from all over the globe at this show because Fl. and GA host the winter shows. Kim Severson and Winsome Adante were there (Ash has a poster of this team on her wall) and Ashley was able to sit at the water jump and get pictures of her coming through the water. Apparently Adante doesn't mind the cold water.
