This afternoon’s session at the CAA Carriage Classic featured nine classes.

Paul Maye and a cute-as-a-button little Welsh pony finished the Single Pony Progressive Obstacle class in fourth place out of eleven competitors:

The winner of that class was Polly Petersen, who was thrilled with her pony and proud of her win in the first-ever CAA pleasure-driving show:

For his part, I’m sure the pony was especially happy to get a nice bath on this warm afternoon:

The afternoon’s pair classes (turnout and reinsmanship for both horses and ponies) featured a number of gorgeous turnouts, in the area outside the barn, in the warm-up, and of course in the arena:

And, finally, the last class of the day was won by its single competitor. Thirteen-year-old Olivia Smock and her Welsh pony, Oak, won the Junior Reinsmanship class (here, they’re getting ready in the barn aisle):
