[Lewella]

I'm back in the back in stalls 506-7 Kay and Leanna. I tried to flag you down this morning Kay and you didn't hear me! LOL I'm so loud I'm not used to people not hearing me! :new_shocked:

 

[Ashley]

What!!! Somebody not hear Lewella???? :new_shocked:

 

[Devon]

What!!! Somebody not hear Lewella???? :new_shocked:

LOL !! ahah I love how you threw that comment in sarcasticall ylol

ok, maybe 100 tomorrow, but we are all sweating together, so we will all have fun together. We are also at the back of the barn--somewhere near Lewella, but don't know my stall #'s.

We didn't have a bad day. I even broke down and showed in the gelding amateur incentive class--and I didn't placed last!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hubby place 3rd in that class with his gelding and 4 in the foundation mare incentive. We have 3 third's, a fourth, a 6th and a couple of 7th place ribbons. We got a ribbon with every pony we entered, so we are happy.

Get to stay in the cool motel a little longer in the morning cause we only have one foundation stallion for tomorrow afternoon.

Hope to see and meet any of you that I haven't already met sometime in the next couple of days. Since Katie is trying to win the filly in the youth contest, we have to stay till at least 6 on sat evening, but will leave right after that.

Kay, you were looking really good out there. Wish I could show as well as you.

To identify Lewella....listen for her trademark giggle

: . It's the only way I can be sure...she changes hair color and it mixes me up :bgrin ....the giggle always lets me know...ohhh Lewella.

Good job forum members/and their ponies at Congress! :aktion033:

 

[alongman]

Congrats everyone! I wish I was there watching and cheering you on!

 

[kaykay]

lewella we have been back to your stalls like 20 times and keep missing you! cant believe i didnt hear you! corey clipped jet for us last night and he looks so good. i am in coreys debt big time. This show is just such a blast and watching the road ponies last night was so fun. we keep hoping the clipper guy will show up but not so far. doesnt seem to be nearly as many vendors as in past years.

Angie thank you so much for the compliment! i get so focused when i am showing a horse that i dont even know whats goin on around me LOL. I get teased about it alot by Fran.

Wish you all could be here

Well, as of 10:30 am on Friday - it's not as hot in center ring - but it's still early, too. When I was on my way in fom the motel this morning, it was 77 degrees at 7:15 am. It's not really the heat but the humidity that does it.

On a better subject, the quality of these ponies improves every year. I am looking forward to Modern Liberty tonight as well. Forum members, please come up and introduce yourselves when I et out of the ring on those rare occasions. Hope you all are enjoying the music too.

mark i have to say i just love your announcing! especially during roadster

your voice always seems to make the show. And i agree the ponies here are just stunning. hot or not i love congress and always have such a blast showing in it.

kyle got 7th out of 7 in showmanship. he couldnt get jet to trot back to the line. he was the only boy in showmanship so it was really cute seeing him out there with all the young ladies.

today we have open gelding (kyle handling) color class, youth halter and my last ammy class so we are really excited. it seems much cooler this morning so that is a great thing.

osu finally called and all tinys test results were negative. negative for rabies, salmonella, west nile, potomac horse fever. I dont think we will ever know what happened to my baby.

my eyes are still dealing me a fit and i have to keep putting ice on them but other then that we are having a blast. I have met so many forum members and all my old buddies so im happy. oh and russ i finally found lewella. i love that woman! and angie foy is so much fun to show with. i think we are in the same ammy class again today

 

[dannigirl]

We finally got home about an hour ago. We had so much fun. Sorry, Kay, but we didn't show in amateur this morning. Katie showed in youth with your boy though. Not sure how he placed as I get so excited watching and enjoying her that I get focused and don't see much else. She placed 4th with her gelding. She has been showing him as a mini all summer and just loves him. He is the one with the alergies or what ever. We did buy some benadryl to put on him and that helped. I didn't want to give him any oraly in case he would have a reaction. Better to have that at home

: Have some here and will call vet on monday and get his opinion and then give him some.

It is good to be home and see that all of our babies are in good shape. Checked as much as we could in the dark, so will take a good look in the morning.

Hope all get home safely after enjoying congress as much as we did.

We got home this morning at 3am. Will post pics and everything when i get the energy to upload them. Saturday it was really nice and cool at congress, of course the last day it cools off. We left right after the jumping classes.

It was so nice to meet everyone
