Although admittedly I think that test is difficult because the 20 meter circle is in the middle of the ring and really requires you to ride every step. I do like that Charlie was trying to stretch during the free walk. :) SpanishWalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003578056572686242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-33037219035890138492017-05-23T12:12:17.789-07:002017-05-23T12:12:17.789-07:00I always wondered this too, and never asked.

However, her legacy lived on in the 1960s, when the introductory division at horse trials was named the Jenny Camp division. Today, the Jenny Camp Horse Trials, hosted by the Maryland Combined Training Association, is held every September."emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-18028405429740886212017-05-23T08:42:00.030-07:002017-05-23T08:42:00.030-07:00Congratulations!

What might seem small to someone else is huge for the greenie! I will also say you are super lucky to have so much media, as I usually show alone! (And weird question, why is it called Jenny Camp? Is there a camp component?
