Talk about making a great first impression.
Coupeville 5th grader Abbie Moss burst onto the scene this weekend, working with her horse Blu to bring home six ribbons from her first reining and ranch riding show.
Competing in Lynden with the Northwest Reining Association, the 11-year-old proved to be a natural, taking four 1st place ribbons, as well as two 2nd place awards for reining and ranch rail.
Moss has been riding casually for several years, and recently made the transition to competitive events.
Blu, a 12-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding out of Chocolate Chic Olena and Nu Cash Lass, joined the family last October.
Since then, he and his new favorite girl have been inseparable.
“When Abbie isn’t practicing or showing, she rides him around the farm and on trails every chance she gets,” said mom Kristy.
