Moondance Alexander Page #7

I can't watch!

It's been giving riders trouble all day.

- It's no trouble for Moondance.

- Yes!

- Did she make it?

- Keep your eyes open.

You're gonna miss the whole thing.

The most challenging part

of the course is still ahead.

Beautiful lead change right there.

Quiet him down, Moondance.

She needs to down-shift around this corner.

- Easy, boy.

- She's heading in way too fast.

They're gonna crash and burn

on this combination.

This is where experience really comes into play...

which is something this young lady

just doesn't have yet.

Come on. Come on.

This is it. The final combination.

But can Moondance maintain her focus

and composure over these last two jumps?

This little horse might have

a big enough heart to take her all the way!

If they can just keep

this last stride into the final oxer.

Unbelievable! They've done it!

What an amazing event

this has turned out to be!

Yes!

It's this kind of talent that makes this sport

so exciting and so unpredictable.

Way to go!

Yeah! She made it!

How was it? Was it all right?

It sure was.

I can't believe she made it through

with no mistakes.

There's still no way she can win.

Not on that horse.

These two underdogs,

Mike, have come out of nowhere.

Checkers, you were brilliant.

A good boy.

Let's go.

Oh.

I am very, very proud of you.

Thank you.

Wasn't Checkers amazing?

You both were.

Good job, buddy.

But was that good?

- It was great.

- Oh, yeah!

Checkers! We got a ''great!"

Thank you, Dante.

Now what's happening?

Well, now we have to

wait for the results.

There seems to be a heated

conversation going on at the judges'table.

- It's a pinto.

- It's a horse.

- When was the last time we had a pinto in this-

- What seems to be the problem?

We're having a disagreement

about the black-and-white horse.

What kind of disagreement?

- We don't know where he fits in.

- He doesn't.

A pinto doesn't fit in the Winner's Circle

of the Junior Hunter Classic.

- I disagree.

- You need to make a decision.

We've got to announce a winner.

I'm not budging on this.

Moondance and Checkers

might be forcing them to consider...

a more diverse playing field

than they're used to.

While we 're waiting

for a decision from our judges...

could we have the Junior Hunter division

trot into the ring, please?

Well, win or lose, you gave 'em

something to think about.

All right.

All right, Moondance!

Let's go, Megan!

And now for the results of

the Junior Hunter Bow River Classic.

Sixth place goes to Jill Blake

riding Hot Tamale.

Fifth place goes to Katie Harrison

riding Tango Dancer.

- 4th place goes to Olivia Kay

riding Sophie's Trophy.

Congratulations.

Third place goes to Ted Michaels

riding Alexandra.

Congratulations.

Another good ride.

Second place goes to Shannon McGinnis

riding Uptown Girl.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you very much.

And for first place...

we have a tie.

Our Bow River Junior Hunter Classic

champions are...

- Fiona Hughes riding Monte Carlo-

- Whoo!

and Moondance Alexander...

riding Checkers!

- We won?

- What?

Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Are you kidding me?

We won, Checkers! We won!

Oh, good job, boy!

Oh! They won!

I'll be right back.

I will be right back.

Congratulations once again.

Very good ride.

- There we are.

- Thank you.

Not a bad little horse you got there, Dante.

Not bad at all.

Congratulations. This was a very good

victory for you and your horse.

Thank you!

But we did have a lot of help.

We'd like a photograph in a moment.

Oh, sure!

Certainly!

Oh, good job, Checkers.

Let's put the blanket on the horse.

Hey, um, Fiona, congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Oh, you're welcome.

I really like your horse.

Oh! Thank you! Yeah,

he's a pretty good boy.

I've actually been looking for a new place to ride.

How is Tumbleweed Stables?

Well, it's nothing fancy, but you really get

a lot of personalized attention.

- Sounds great. I'll have to check it out.

- Moondance!

Can you hold this for just one second?

Thank you.

Let's give a hand to our

Junior Hunter Classic champion Fiona Hughes!

Well, that was the most fantastic

and hair-raising experience of my life.

- You were amazing!

- Thank you!

- Looks like you're going to the winner's banquet.

- You mean we're going.

Moondance!

They're ready for your photo!

I gotta run.

Hey, Mom, um, do you wanna

invite Ben to come with us?

Really?

Yeah, I mean, I was thinking...

Ben may be different,

but he still deserves a chance.

What about Josh?

Is he invited too?

Yeah, sure.

Why not?

Ladies and gentlemen...

let's hear it for our Bow River

Junior Hunter Classic champion...

Moondance Alexander and Checkers!

Thanks, Daddy.

Oh, and don't worry

about me and Mom.

We're gonna be all right.

- Welcome.

- Thank you.

How do you do?

Let's have a look at that pony.
