I was at a local saddle club show a couple weeks ago with my minis (for halter and showmanship) and we parked our trailer next to the ISU Rodeo Queen for the 2nd time in a row. (LOVE her.)
We is of course fascinated by the minis and I will usually find her hugging my yearling and cooing to her. lol.
She started a conversation about her friend who worked for the Iowa State Fair and dealt with the show entries for the horse shows. That includes drafts, QHs, Paints, etc. Even minis. Her friend had mentioned that the Miniature Horse show (AMHR and ASPC) was the most difficult to keep track of.
Why you ask?

Because each owner/breeder/trainer had 20+ horses (exaggeration), in 20+ classes, and 20 different handlers.
So. Congrats on being the most tedious and difficult show! lol.
I had to laugh when she mentioned that to my mom and I.
PS. The minis did fine at their show. Ale, my yearling go 1st in her class. Pete, her 2 year old brother got 2nd in halter and 3rd in Showmanship (1st only showmanship class and only a week of training!!!!!)
