I finished up with a second place in the Half-Arabian Working Cow Horse Amateur to Ride class. My score was a 70, which I was pleased with considering I haven’t worked a cow since last September.
Crystal won both her classes with Pink, the Open and the Open Championship, with a 74.5 and a 74 respectively. Overall, it was a good show. The weather was great, there wasn’t much drama and I had a great time seeing all the people I only seem to see at horse shows. Now I just need to order my pictures!
Note on the scoring: The highest and lowest scores were dropped and the remaining scores were added together. A score of 70 means you completed everything well and didn’t accumulate any penalties or additional points. Anything above a 70 reflects the amount of additional points rewarded to the maneuvers. The average scores for most amateur to ride working western classes (e.g. working cow horse, reining) is somewhere in the mid to high 60s…at least in the Arab world!
