Looking ahead to 2012...shows!

[LindaL]

I know, I know...we haven't even gotten thru the winter yet, but with all the 2012 shows being listed recently, I have the "itch" to show again already...(our 1st 2012 show is in February, so only a few more months!

)

Here is my 2012 show string as it stands now...

[Deb O.]

I can't wait either and 2 of the horses she listed up above in her post are my show horses. One "Heart" has been my project horse that I've been training for halter. Quite a big leap for me since I'm just getting the hang of it kind of on a trained horse lol. Also our club here in Ocala is working on bringing in some nationally recognized judges one a nationals judge for their shows up here this season.

[walkermini]

I'm a total newbie with showing-my work schedule until this summer was EVERY weekend working, and I had limited personal/vacation time, and usually needed that for non-horse stuff. And of course shows are on weekends...I have a different shift now, and am off weekends, so I plan to show! I am sending one horse, one of my Billy Idol daughters, to a trainer. She has been shown before, but this way she can be professionally conditioned, shown, etc. And the trainer has said I can come anytime to see how she conditions, trains, grooms, etc. and then I can try with other horses at home. I'm not sure what other horses I will show, it will probably be a very small show string next year while Im learning. All my horses will be three years or older next year, so Im also looking around for a junior mare. Im hoping I have some babies next year that I can show also. Hmm I really need to start looking for the show stuff I need...

Forgot to add I will just be showing in halter classes, both AMHA and AMHR.

 

[Lucky-C-Acres-Minis]

I'm totally new to the show thing too, but I'm hoping to finally get my feet wet and hit a few shows this coming spring/summer.. I've gone back and forth on WHO I want to show so many times now, but I think without a doubt I'm going to get my boy Doc (Oak Parks Oh Im Awesome) back out and showing

Think it's a smart move, it'll get him back out showing, him noticed, and plus I think he'll just be down right FUN!

Oak Parks Oh Im Awesome

AMHA/AMHR Black Pinto Stallion

Halter is a definite, may look into color, jumping, showmanship etc.

And if I can get her trained, I'd like to get my junior filly out and showing. She's a fun little girl, just a handful with a lot of attitude/spirit

Cedar Fields Duke's Lil Duchess

AMHA/AMHR Black Pinto Filly

Would love to get her in halter and liberty (this girl can MOVE)

And depending on how those go, I may get one of the 2012 Doc kids out and showing or possibly one of the older Doc colts I have if they're still here..

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Well I havent narrowed down my actual showstring yet as I have way too many picked right now

but here are my possible show horses for next year:

Bissel Mounds Monte Carlo (if I can get him back in shape)

driving, versatility, jumper, hunter, liberty, color

Arions Magnium P I (he is for sure on my showstring)

WCPD, Versatility, Jumper, Hunter, Liberty

Maple Hollows Little Bit Of Magic

Halter, Jumper, Hunter, Liberty, Color

Little Kings Remmington

Halter to start with, still needs a lot more handling before I even think about other classes!

GMR Fooler Fooled Angie (She is for sure too)

Halter, Liberty, and maybe hunter/jumper

Maple Hollows Ebony Chardonnay

Halter, Color, Liberty

Maple Hollows Dare To Dream

Halter, Color, Liberty

Maple Hollows Supreme Elegance

Halter, Color, Liberty

Maple Hollows Black Pearl (If I get her back in shape)

Halter, Color, Liberty, Hunter, Jumper, and maybe WCPD if I finish her training this winter.

These may be split into two different showstrings too for different shows as I do not even want to have this many going at one time LOL! I also have one show I will take a mare and foal to but that pair wont be determined obviously until they have all foaled.

 

[JMS Miniatures]

I'll be showing all 3 of mine.

JMS Redskin Warrior (coming back to the ring since 2008)

Hunter

Jumper

Showmanship

maybe WCPD

Will be showing in obstacle and roman chariot at Nationals.

KHA Krackerjack of Hickory Hills

WCPD

Hunter

Obstacle

NFR's 2 Hot 2 Handle

Roadster (WCPD at Nationals)

Hunter

Obstacle

 

[Minimor]

I will most likely be showing only Shetlands next year:

Plattes Untimely, 4 year old gelding that needs only 12 points to finish his Classic HOF

Cedar Plains Evening Star - yearling filly, not 100% sure yet if I will show her Foundation or Classic

Plattes Revelation - 3 year old mare, again not sure if I am going to keep her in Foundation (where she has 35 HOF points) or put her into Classic

Plattes Wildfyre Bay - 2 year old Classic stallion who needs 1 more Grand and some points for his HOF

Plattes Unconventional - 3 year old Classic stallion

Plattes Unadorned - 4 year old Classic mare that needs just one more Grand for her HOF

and I'd also like to bring out Plattes Unavoidable, another 4 year old Classic mare

and there is also JEM Sudden Temptation that I would like to show AMHR

and LMJ Who's Zoomin' Who, my 3 year old Foundation gelding who is so close to earning his Foundation HOF but who may now be too big to show in Foundation, which means he will have to start all over again in Classic

BUT--I am just one person & simply don't have the time to condition this many horses--nor do I have the ability to get them all ready for the ring on show day, nor do I have the $$$ to enter that many horses in any one show (nor trailer room to haul that many, and won't have the time to make 2 trips)...so I am going to have to decide the maximum number I can get ready and which ones to cut from the list.

If I get to show anyone in driving or not is going to depend on our spring--if it is a nice early spring & I can do a lot of driving then I may have someone ready for showing. If it's another miserable, late spring I will not get enough time put on anyone for our first show in June.

 

[PaintNminis]

• Ten Ls Buff After Dark (Buff filly)
  
• Conders A Little Unruley (Breakin All The Rules filly)
   
  

 

[Tremor]

I'm really excited for next year. I don't show too much (only shown 3 times...) but I am looking into going to some AMHR shows.

I would like to go to Lavonne's (Timberviews Miniatures) 2012 clinic in May and the fun show in July. I am also hoping to show at the Iowa State Fair which will be nerve racking enough to be going against the Lundy's with one of their past foals! (I'm so excited though that Roelene will be able to see one of her homebreds in a class!)

This year will be our first year without a foal (retired the mares and sold the stallion) and I'm thinking about dedicating this year to my ex-broodmare, BL Hooten Hollow's Bow Tie.

I'm not showing to win what so ever. I'm just showing for fun and for experience. Also to meet more people.

I really need to find a mentor along the way to guide me because I am going to be clueless! LOL!

One of the things that I'm showing for is to show people what an ex-broodmare can do! What makes its special is that Bow will turn 10 next year so this kind of marks a new decade!

 

[Minimor]

Ah, Tremor, I so wish you were my next door neighbor so you could come to the shows with me & help show some ponies. It would be grand to have younger help that can run so that I'm not doing all the railwork--I don't mind the running so much, but it means trading horses back & forth with my extra handlers who cannot run. Would you like to visit Manitoba for June & July this summer???

 

[mydaddysjag]

Im taking all of the boys out next year.

LTD's Domingo who will be 12 next season, and this boy STILL has it.

Either Country or roadster driving, hunter, and halter.

Zarzuelas Modigliani will be 5 next year. I got him at the end of show season this year, so im excited to really get showing him. I only got to show him once this year before the season was over.

Halter and hunter

RHA Jumping Jack Flash will be a yearling next year. Im excited, but nervous about showing him next year. I havent had a baby in years, and was really enjoying having a solidly trained horse with no show ring sillies lol I think hes going to be something really special.
