Wow, what a weekend.
It was a well-run show, sadly not as big as previous years, but the classes each day were over by 4 or 5 PM which was nice.
Thank you to judge Belinda Bagby, you had a lot of great horses to judge and it must have been a tiring three days.
It was sooo hot this weekend, and we had rain everyday (we stayed in a tent too haha
), but that didn't stop anyone!
We saw a lot of old friends, met some new ones, and had a good time chatting about horses. I saw barnbum, mercy's mom, both girls from Maine (and their adorable australian shepherd pups!
) and several others. Everyone had a great smile on their face!!
We did well show-wise too. I haven't shown an Area show for a couple years, and I was darn proud of my boy, Zeus!
Halter Obstacle, Chantilly - 6
Youth Hunter Under, Zeus - 3rd (first time having a clear round in hunter too! Just need to work on keeping him at a trot after jumps)
Youth Jumper Under, Zeus - 2nd (Clean round both times. I just couldn't run faster than Matthew Wilson)
Youth Showmanship Under, Zeus - 3rd. (He was being a major pain in the bum. I'm suprised we placed so well)
Youth Showmanship Over, Chantilly - 6th (Soo, I was asked where the Gaskin is. HAHA. I took 4-H and everything and answered wrong. I'm dissapointed in myself. Chantilly was a good girl too)
Amateur Senior Geldings, Zeus (Mom showed) 2nd
Youth Senior Geldings, Zeus -1st
Open Senior Geldings, Zeus - 1st
Senior Gelding Championship - Champion
Grand Champion Gelding Under- Reserve Grand (Under a nice McCarthy horse!!!)

I've decided to retire Chantilly from big shows after this year. I think its time for her to have a baby =)
But here are some pictures!!!
(These next pictures are from Barnbum. Thanks Karla!!)
Ok these next ones are from my mom's camera.
Excuse his face, I fixed it that night, I swear!
This is why I love him
White Flash... ZOOOM!
Biting me the whole time...
His does this a lot...
The chestnut is his brother, Zinc!
No, I didn't go in like that. It was HOT.
Thanks for letting me share!
