Another great show!!

Good afternoon all,

Early yesterday morning Kelli & I loaded up for the PWHA Double Judge show in Manassas for the Grooming/Showmanship Sr class.

At first I was worried that we wouldn't have anyone in our class & that it would be just us, but it turned out to not be the case. We had six in our class.

I have to say that I am so proud of Kelli!!!!! She took 1st under both judges with Maxi!!! Yesterday everything seemed to finally just click for them & it's only the 4th show of the season!!!!! The pattern went perfect.

Daisy seemed to have the class in hand, until......during inspection, she moved

. Normally she doesn't move!!! But she did & we took 3rd under both judges. And that's still very good & I'm proud of her for acting like a seasoned vet after only a few shows.

We had a really good time & would recommend this show to anyone!!! I sent in the APHA PAC Approval form, so invite all your APHA friends to come on out & meet these wonderful people. This is going to be a show that stays on our calendar for years to come. We will be back to PWHA!!!

It looks like we are home for the holiday weekend to discuss the crazy schedule I have planned & then on the road again.

Until next time.........

Eastern Panhandle Saddle Club ShowHi there, Just want to share the latest show results

!! Sunday we loaded up & headed to Martinsburg, WV for the Eastern Panhandle Saddle Club show. It was humid

& the bugs were big enough to carry the horses away. But we survived & came home with the same number of horses we left with. The patterns are getting harder as we venture to new shows & we wouldn't have it any other way!! What a great schooling show!!! The people were extremely friendly & we are looking forward to their next show!!! Both staff & veterans of the EPSC welcomed Kelli & I in as though we were family that thay hadn't seen in a while. With 3 horses to show & only 2 of us, it was amazing to see people coming out of the woodwork to lend a "holding" hand so that our transition between classes & horses went very smooth. Now on to the results! First up we have Kelli & Maxi: They took 3rd in Halter Mares, 1st in Beg SMS & 2nd in Sr SMS. WAY TO GO KELLI & MAXI!!!! Next we have Duke: He got 1st in Halter Geldings, only his 2nd show!!! Last but not least, Daisy: 1st in Sr SMS, 1st in Halter Mares & Grand Champion Halter Horse!!!!! This is such a wonderful & talented mare I always knew BLUE was my FAVORITE color!!!!! And I wore a stunning blue with white Two Creeks jacket with blue pants!! Blue was the color of the day!! No pics as of yet, but I'm hoping that some are floating around & I'm trying to find out if anyone at the show got a few of us. Next show is a few weeks away, but I'm trying to convince Kelli that we should head out to one this coming Sunday

. Not looking like she's gonna go for it

. Talk to you soon. Another exciting showJust five days after the Hear-the-Beat show in Lexington & we are already on the road to another show, this time in Woodstock. And what a show this turned out to be!!!!!! I decided to take my Paint gelding, Duke, that has been sitting here all these years & turn him into a show horse. I was truly surprised by what the day brought.

Hustlers Duke of Hazard & I took 1st in Halter Geldings 3 & Over and Grand Champion Halter Horse!!! This was truly a day of firsts for Duke!!

Kelli & Maxi took 2nd in Showmanship & 3rd in Halter Mares 3 & Over.

Daisy & I took 1st in Showmanship & 2nd in Halter Mares 3 & Over. Daisy also got Reserve Halter Champion.
