We completed the competition and made the time on the marathon so we won the Prelim VSE division (as the only entry). We also won the ribbon for the fastest cones round out of all Prelim entries (all breeds/sizes). It was a blast!

Great pictures! Beautiful turnout. Especially the hat!

I love the gold accents that show up on your cart and harness. You obviously polished a little! Good job.

Everything, your harness,your cart, the painting on your cart, pinstripes, your blue hat,your jacket, red/blue bonnet and boots AND pretty braid....and a black horse to boot!!Everything just shines!!

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments! I'll try to answer all the questions. The cones harness is the fancy rolled show harness from Ozark (love it!) and the marathon harness is the Chimacum sport harness with the freedom collar. The cart was made by Jim Newman here in Ontario. It is painted with midnight blue automobile paint and has gold pinstriping. I have wire wheels and a patent boot for it for the breed ring. My outfit was the one I wore in pleasure turnout at walnut hill last year. It is one of my favourite combos. I'm looking at a whole different wardrobe for Tulsa!
