Because we are so close we'll be setting up our stalls on Sat but won't bring Elvis in till Sunday (only 25 miles away) Once he's done we'll take him home until I think Thursday, which is his next class. No sense in letting him stand there three days when he can be at home!

Save us a spot.

We flew in last night and paid a late night visit to Magic, our gelding. We are in the Bass Richardson building stalled next to Mocha Miniatures, Leeside, Meadowbrook, and Hurricane Hollow. Magic was a little dopey last night when we got there but he has cheered up now. We are staying at the La Quinta Inn in White Settlement.

I participated in the Youth and Ammy Judging Contest today. I received 4th place in performance and 4th place overall(Halter and performance). Tomorrow I will be practicing a bunch with Magic. The showmanship patterns are TOUGH! So much for patterns 1, 2, and 3...... The halter obstacle courses are also tough, but I think we are up for the challenge. We have met some great people too. I am excited to see some of the youth classes tomorrow.

 

[Kari]

We got in at 6:30am on Friday. It took us 15 hours!!

It was only 700 miles but traffic and construction were terrible.

We're in Burnett Building, stalls 338-343. We don't show until Monday, so we're bathing and clipping these days.

The stall setups are just mind-boggling.

Some are just so extravegant (sp?), they have nicer furniture and electronics than I have in my house.

Some have huge flat-screen tvs, some have waterfalls, many have very nice leather furniture - like you'd see in a library or den of a fancy home, many serving wine. Ummm....I'll just get out my folding chairs and have a beer I guess.

It's sure is an experience.

 

[Dr. Pam]

Misty and Kaylee show today!!! They are with Jan Gibson, who is with Austin VanWyck in the Bennett barn. I will hot foot it down there as soon as I'm done with work--I should be there tonight about 6pm, and I'll be back all day tomorrow. I'm printing this off so I can go ahunting--bag me some Forum folks!

 

[dreamlandnh]

If anyone see's Melanie Greenwood please wish her luck for me. I hope that Connor is well enogh to show this year. I also wish everyone luck at Worlds...I will be watching the video feed.

 

[maestoso]

I will let Melanie know for you Karen. Connor is here and he showed in Liberty and will be showing in showmanship and halter later on this morning. He has a broken arm so isn't doing the performance classes. In Liberty, he and chant won the "Hardest Catch" award.

If anyone is interested, the Youth/Ammy judges are Cindi, Margot, Sammi, and Steve

Hi Matt, Let Connor know that I was able to watch him in his class. He did a great job but could see that it was hard to handle with the opposite hand. Connor's 4-H Leader, Diana

[Katie Iceton]

Does anyone know who won the youth 12 and under country pleasure driving class? Or the whole top 10? Or more specifically if Hannah Morris and Chickadee Ridge Summer Brew did well?

 

[JWC sr.]

We just got back in from IHOP eating some late dinner. I want to tell everyone that I am so proud of all the youth that showed today, the classes have been large with awesome horses in them and the kids have done themselves proud with the way they presented the horses.

It is a real testament to the parents, mentors and future of these wonderful horses and kids. Again, I persoanlly would like to say well done to all of them.

On the home front we had 5 grandkids show in a total of 7 classes and ended up with 4 top 10's, 1 top 5, 1 reserve national champion and one national champion. Congradulations to Katleynn, Megan, Lil John, Brandi and Ryan for a job well done. I am really proud of the effort, practice and time you have spent this year with your horses. It showed in the ring for sure.

If anyone has the time, come by cattle barn 4 and say hello to Cindy, Jose and I this week.
