Just had to post that the East Coast Miniature Horse Club had its first fun show today. Temp - 97...heat index....don't want to know - unbelievably hot. But show was an unbelievable success. Don't know total count of horses but there were 32...yes...32 horses in SOLID COLOR. 22 horses in Liberty. Many classes had 10-15 entries. Preliminary reports is that the club cleared $2000. It was so exciting to see people showing for the very first time, winning their first blue ribbon and crying all the way to the barn. Local TV showed up, local newspaper showed up. I just can't tell you how inspiring this is to our local industry. We had folks from at least three states show up and this wasn't even a sanctioned show. But let me tell you....the next one will be.
Congratulations to all the exhibitors! Congratulations to the club! And you guys out there...just keep your eye on us! Again, this was just a fun show!!
Also, got to meet several FORUM members. Gander Hill had a great show with her new Rebel colt and all the other horses they brought. Also met some Forum "lurkers" - maybe they'll come out of the closet now! LOL
p.s. Congrats Chandler and last I saw of minimomNC (aka Karen) she was sipping at Craigs
