We just got home from the AMHA Eastern Regional show.
We had a great time seeing everyone. Our babies did great, which makes all the work worth while. Our son, James (ANDI), showed all of our horses except for Gisele since he had two horses in the class.
We haven't got any photo's yet but will post them on our website when we get them.
The facility was alright - but was missing a couple of key items that it was suppose to have - A/C and enough stalls in the main barn. Ended up with blisters walking back and forth
We brought 5 weanlings
and 4 yearlings. Between Liberty, open filly classes, and Get of Sire we had to have
all of them ready for Saturday morning at 8 am. They all showed in the first 6 or 7 classes. Thank you Julie & Aston Good and their neighbor for all the help. Also Megan and her dad jumped in to hold some of the horses for us when things got real busy.
We then had to get the 3 boys ready again for open classes on Sunday.
Saturday was mostly "girl" day:
RHA Bianca Buckeroo- showed in the 26"-under Weanling Mare and got Grand Champion
RHA Fancy Buckeroo - showed in the 26-30" Weanling Mare class and placed 3rd. Congrads to her new owner Megan - I'm sure she will continue to do well for her.
RHA Wardances Gisele - showed in the 26-30" Weanling Mare class and placed 9th. I was drafted to try to show her since my son James was showing Fancy in the same class. I don't do nearly as good as James when it comes to going in the ring.
RHA Magnolia Locomotion - owned by Lyn & Bob Krivanek - placed 6th in the 28" - under Yearling mares. Nolie also took 5th in a very competitive Liberty class that had 24 horses in the class.
RHA Wardances Lovely Rita - showed in the 28-30" yearling mares and took 5th place.
RHA Mustang Sally - showed in the 30-32" yearling mares. I believe there was 16 horses in the class. She received 8th place.
We showed Lovely Rita, Fluffington Stuffypants and Wild Tango in the Get of Sire class. They are all sired by "Dancer" that is owned by Judy Smith of Tiz-A-Mini in New Hampshire. A big thank you to Judy for allowing us the opportunity to use Dancer in our breeding program. The three of them won Grand Champion in the Get-of-Sire class.
On Sunday, we showed the boys.
RHA Wardances Wild Tango - showed in the 26" - under Weanling colt and took Grand Champion. He was first under all 3 judges
RHA Wardance Fluffington Stuffypants - showed in the 26-30" Weanling colt and received 4th place.
RHA Imperial Locomotion - co-owned with our friends from Vanity Grove Farm - (MINIHORSEHUGS) showed in a very tough 28-30" Yearling colt class and received 4th place. Sorry Donna & Buster for leaving you on pins and needles.
, buy my daughter Brooke is, showing our Senior Mare.
We are very happy about that. She just started showing in March, so this is only her 4th time out and she's taking it all in stride. The daughter, however, was admittedly very nervous!
She'll go back later for Grand and Reserve Amateur Mare, then Peas will show her this afternoon in Open Sr Mares 32-34". Hope I have some more good news later on!!!!
