Hi everyone!
First i think i should announce the new guy before our show results lol. Here he is, LTD's White Chief (son of LTD's Magic Man). I'm sure you all know him as Kyle's (kays son) show gelding that he kicked butt with in the show ring this year :bgrin. I've been waiting a whole month to bring him home since the Ohio World Show. I was talking to Kay about possibly leasing a gelding to show in 2007 and then they ended up buying Jet that evening and you know how the rest goes
. We picked him up on the 19th at the Halter Clinic. Poor guy, first day we picked him up he was stuck at a halter clinic for 4 hours, then his first day home he had to get clipped and a bath and then the next day we were at the fair for 6 days. Sunday night we brought him home and he finially can settle in. I am VERY excited! He is deffently everything i was hoping for to show next year. We're going to be showing Open halter, color, jumper, showmanship and if its not to much i'm tempted to try obsticle halter. Finially i can show the classes i've really been wanting to show. I took him in place of Coco to the show along with Royal, i'll write about that after his pics though. He got ALLOT of attention at the show bc most people had never seen a white horse with blue eyes. I'll post jumping pics later on this week after it drys up some outside
These pics are from the day after we picked him up after his bath, he is so beautiful!
Okay now on to the show results. Well Friday i was expecting to sit back in the barn and get ready to show on Saturday but that didnt exactly happen lol. Every year they have a contest thats called 'celebrating the breed of the year'. Well they needed atleast 5 horses and were practically begging people to enter since they only had 4 horses entered. We entered about 15 minutes before the contest, i figured chief would be better behaved so i took him in. It was very simple actually, just have to talk about your breed of horse, why you chose it, how its used today, why your horse is a good example of that breed and then history ext. Everyone else was a much more prepaired then me and i'm in no way use to talking infront of that many people lol. Well chief took BREED OF THE YEAR! I was sooo happy to see a mini win. He got a crown that is big-horse-size and a sash, i was so proud of him! I still need to get pics of him wearing his 10 sizes to big crown and sash lol.
Saturday was great to and allot less stressful then the shows we've done this year lol. I took Chief in for the first class and there was either 7 or 8 horses in his class, he deffently stood out since he was the only horse who was not a bay LOL. Chief took 1st place, my first time winning a class!
:
Then Royal had his class right after chief and he was the only horse in his class so he took 1st as well, gosh were we having a good day!
Melissa (MDMminis) from the forum was there to help me hold horses, keep them clean and since i had 2 geldings going into the champion class and there was only one of me ..i had someone to show for me. She did wonderful! There were only 3 horses in our championship class (2 of which being mine lol). Melissa took chief in for me since Royal can be a handfull sometimes in the ring and boy did she do great! Royal took GRAND CHAMPION GELDING, Chief took RESERVE CHAMPION GELDING. :new_shocked: :new_shocked:
I dont think we could have possibly done better lol. This was a real self esteem boost after our placing at the Ohio World Show.
Okay now pics, sorry some didnt upload fully ...photobucket has been a pain in the butt lately.
Getting ready to head into the ring with chief, didnt know they took this pic
