Penny Vandenburg and MCF Crescendo Competing in the dressage class at HARPG - Summershow 2021

From moving to Australia from the homely stable in Colorado, Penny had imagined a huge change in her routine. But, if she was honest, she hadn’t. Maybe it was because she had made her own hours at her own stables which made the hourly change at Kinavara not as much of a shock for herself. Though, she had noticed a few things. Such as she was a bit more open, and she looked forward to getting up in the morning. She used her phone more, which she wasn’t sure was a good or bad thing seeing as she constantly heard people talking of how they were addicted to their little devices. If Penny was honest, she looked at the phone and was a bit disgusted. The phone was small and metal, it wasn’t pretty to look at, and she was sure she got sick looking at it for too long. A picture of her and Paris competing was the lockscreen and home screen seeing as she did not know they could be separate and she had the most minimal amount of apps as anyone could have honestly. Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat were the few apps she had. Podcasts were also one she had interest in. Mostly so she could listen to TED talks, other equestrians in the community, and a few stories she had found interesting(though she found the narrator’s voices pretty boring). The only reason she had the others was mostly because Eden had convinced her to get them, and she liked stalking the sales to see horses being sold or even being put up for sale.
As she walked to the barn, hardly any lights to be seen, no one in sight other than the horses in the pastures and a few in the barn, she was content. Her and Cressie had a schedule for their training. The mare was ridden two times a day when she did not have lessons, once early in the morning and the other late at night. It helped keep the mare from getting distracted. She was calm enough at both periods that she would learn the most from each training, and Eden was really impressed with how well it was going which made Penny satisfied. Cressie wasn’t in her stall, but Penny set up her tack and then went to grab the mare from her little pasture with a run in set up on the property. As they met in the dark, walked together back up to the barn, Cressie let out a yawn but still walked with enough energy to make it clear that she would be okay with another 30 minute training for the day, this time where she would be piecing together the parts of a pattern she had spent careful time studying the past two weeks, and it in a way would be their final test. Cressie and Penny as a team being the subjects of what Penny believed was a level of excellence that would allow them to comfortably be able to show.
Of course they passed, and off to the show they went.
Penny wasn’t really nervous, she wasn’t really excited but seen this as more of something her and Cressie needed to do, or just a big or small win in their books of deciding if Cressie really was ready to show or if she wasn’t really prepared. Eden was blowing up her phone, but it sat privately in her pocket seeing as she did not have the notifications on. If she did not think about it, she would forget to charge her phone, and not thinking about it meant she wasn’t checking the messages anyone was sending her, and not charging it meant that the phone would die and she would be living ‘off the chart’ as Lincoln had teased her about. And how was living ‘off the chart’ be such a bad thing?
She got the mare saddled, and soon was in the warmup ring, mounted and working through their warmup just as if they were at home. After a moment, the warmup was done, they were at the centerline and saluting the judges, and enough confidence between both the horse and rider to fool the judges into thinking this couldn’t possibly be their first show. They had their bumps through the test, but overall they were flawless. Nice enough that if there was an ASMR for the equestrian community, the test could probably qualify to find itself on one of the top pages. The final salute was led with a happy pat, Penny rubbing the mare’s neck with a happy smile on her face as they found the exit and left the arena. She started walking the mare out, but did eventually find herself back at the stall, settling the mare and then finally checking her phone. Her, Eden, and Lincoln had a group message together and she had about 30 missed messages between the two of them alone. Mostly just speaking about the plans at the barn, they must have been at opposite ends of the facility, but finally getting down to her showing.
“P? Ya there?” Eden had sent about 30 minutes ago, having noticed the silence.
“Oh you know she doesn’t check her phone unless we remind her.” Lincoln had replied,
“Very true. But even then. Penny, where ya at? I need the details on how the test went or goes.” which was followed with a message from Lincoln in agreement.
“It went fine, a good fair test. I don’t have a video but I guess they had a videographer there and they will be emailing them to the entrants later. I’ll forward it to you once I get it.”
“Good Good, glad it went well. Did you decide to enter more classes?” Eden asked,
“Not sure yet. She is holding up well but we will see. Maybe we will enter low level jumpers or something. I was curious to see how she would do in the free jumping class honestly, so we may see an appearance then.” Penny answered.
“Sounds good, keep us updated” Lincoln replied, followed by a “second that” from Eden.
