Well - I was trying to wait until the real photos arrived - they've been ordered... but here are the proofs:
Appy was the ONLY miniature horse showing at the 2007 Los Angeles County Fair International Draft Horse, Mule & Pleasure Driving Show! His first ADS show, to boot!
It was quite an adventure, as the day before the show I had a major accident with my right hand - the index finger was mangled, and there were 6 other severe lacerations. (more about that soon on the back porch!)
The new cart with wooden wheels had just arrived and been assembled, but no chance to try it out everything got thrown into the trailer and off to the show we went for a week!
Brenda had to drive in the Amateur turn out class for me - her first ever driving class, and Appy's first class in the new cart, and first time into the venerable Carnation arena at the Pomona Fairplex.
Wendy Pregler, who has been helping Appy and I with lessons was slated to drive in the other classes, and between them they pulled off a placing in each and every class, despite the fact that they were competing in FULL classes against Hackney Ponies, Halflingers, Fell Ponies and anything else in the show 14.2 hands and under!
Needless to say, we were all thrilled with our "premier"! And the boy looked so good... he was definitely the crowd favorite, too! A good time was had by all, even the announcer who played the munchkin song everytime he saw Appy near the in gate - except during the Gambler's choice obstacle class, where he played "low rider"!
More photos soon!
More ADS mini people need to come for next year - maybe we can talk them into some VSE classes!!!
