Thursday June 10
Kaitlyn continues her reign as the Queen of Finals. She made finals today in English Showmanship and English Bareback Equitation.
It was a very long day today, finishing around 6:30. Fortunately, the ice cream social helped cool things down while we waited to see if Kaitlyn got called back for Bareback Eq. - which she did and was placed by one judge, but no Top Tens today.
Enjoy some photos.
Laura, Jenn and Sherry
