My 8 year old daughter is getting the showing bug; it turns out she lacks confidence in the saddle, so riding her pony in a show just won't happen in the near future.
But, we have a new mini filly that was a year in May and I'm wondering if it would be fun to enter her in some halter classes next year, in local open shows - that way we can see how she likes it and if it's something she really wants to persue (we won't know until she tries, right?).
This filly came out of her baby-coat WAY fancier than we thought (much to the breeder/seller's dismay, lol) so she would be fun to do something special with her! But we've never shown mini's at anything and I don't know how they would be recieved in open shows.
Has anyone done it? What about in 4H shows? She could possibly do 4H although it is extremely unlikely she would stand a chance of ever pinning against all thos QH's. I'm not sure that would be nearly as fun anyway as our 4H program isn't the best one around.
And what else besides halter could we do and start to work toward this year? And......if we do decide to do it will y'all hold our hands and help us?
: This will be new territory.
Thanks so much in advance for any input!
