I don't want to steal anyone's thunder--I'm sure Russ will be on to brag soon--but I believe he and Rico took 5th in a beautiful class! The forum members sure are doing awesome this year.

Mark is always the best announcer we are so lucky to have him
 
Russ called me after his class and is pretty darn happy. Congrats again Russ. That was a big class too, at least 26. He said he is so busy that he doesn't get much time to get on to update. He is having the time of his life.....
 
Would you say that the classes are large this year? I watched some of the show last year and it didn't seem like the classes were this large.

Most of the classes I have gotten to watch seem to be really stiff competition. Do you all think so to?

Congrats to Russ and all the LB folks that have placed.
 
I just wanted to add This is my first year showing and watching Nationals. I am so impressed by everyone! Also it is good to read all of the support from other owners. Everyone I have met has been so helpful and happy to share information. It is a wonderful community to be a part of

IMO, I'd say that this is an average turnout so far; Some classes have HUGE numbers, where others don't even have 10 entries. Same as last year, more or less. Some classes always have huge turnouts.

I don't think number were down too much last year, and know of many classes that had split classes similar in size. IMO, same goes with the quality.

THe classes will only get bigger as the open starts.. many choose not to show in ammy and wait for open.

John and Cindy's colt is my pick for Grand and Supreme this year he is as close to perfection as a horse can get IMO

I'm amazed at how huge these classes are--and how long the horses need to pose! The horses seem so well trained. The judges must walk miles!

In a gelding futurity class I just saw a Lilac Lane horse got reserve?? Isn't that Heidi's farm? Or are there two Lilac Lane Farms?

Is there a pic of this colt you girls are mentioning? Or maybe I just saw him win that class? I'd love to see a pic of him close up.

It's fun to watch even one class a day--and see folks I've seen at Horseheads--like McCarthy's.

I don't know where to find a picture, but yes he just won the over yearling stallion/gelding futurity.
 
You can see baby pictures and last year's Nationals win picture of the Rhapsody colt at rhapsodyshetlands.com under 2008 foals. I saw him in person last year when I picked up my filly from them and all I can say is WOW.
