Great show in IDAHO!!!

[Kim Rule]

The All Star Show that we had was SO much fun. It was a good turn out, and we had some spectators, too. I know that we alked to people who started out with "Oh, how cute!" and than found out that little horses are quite the athletes too!

Horray for everyone who worked SO hard to make the show a success! I don't think I said thank you enough to everyone...it ran smoothly, and people were extremely friendly and helpful. The judges were friendly and fair...People came from eastern Idaho and Utah...it was kind of like a preview of the Blackfoot show, except there were more local people! :cheeky-smiley-006:

I hope they do it again next yearl...but I would really like it to be a 2 day show. Bilbo performed beautifully...I hadn't done in-hand trail or jumping with him before. Alan Dial showed him at halter for me, and he placed 3rd!!! It was so cool!!! Thank you Alan!

: Bilbo even went into hunter...and performed wonderfully. I was so proud!

It was lovely to start my summer with this show...I hope we do it again in a year!!!

Hi, Kim!

Thanks so much for posting that you had a good time yesterday in Caldwell, Idaho, at the All-Star Mini and Shetland Show Club's 1st Annual Performance Show. Might be the only performance show, actually, as we are seriously contemplating a full 2-day show for next year.

My husband, Pete, did take pictures, and I'll let you know when he uploads them so I can share. Hope to submit photos and a short review of the show to the Press Tribune, too.

Mostly, Pete was extremely supportive of Kathy, Lisa (RuffnTuff), Susan, Suzanne, and me for attempting this venture independently of any previously established club. Our goal became a successful reality.

Our thanks go to AMHR Judges Sami Scheuring and Laurie Villalpando, Show Steward John Olmstead, Ring Steward Andy Villalpando, and Show Secretary/Announcer Dendra Player, for maintaining a friendly, encouraging atmosphere. Participants seemed happy with the facility for sure: restrooms with showers, food concession on the premises, overnight camping, new barns complete with fans and good ventilation, warm-up arena. Also, of course, thanks to all the handlers and horses who attended this fledgling sanctioned show!!!

Well, I could see that you guys were running your butts off!! The judges were fair and friendly, the staff was kind and patient...the only thing we were missing was a potluck! I'm looking forward to see the pictures...

I put him back in the snaffle for the show, and he stayed light on the bit. It was great! I think he realized that he must have respect for that thing in his mouth!

It was a great show . I have to say all the shows I have been to in my life must have been run wonderful cause they all made putting on a show look so easy

:

While I am glad it is done we are already planning for next year.(even though that day I said NEVER AGAIN)

It sure seemed like everyone had a wonderful time- it was the first sanctioned show for many and now quite a few are hooked. There will be alot of us from Boise heading to the Blackfoot show!

Thanks to everyone who lended a hand where needed and for all the patience and support we got and thanks to all our UT and Eastern ID and Northern ID friends for coming down(or up) it was wonderful to see everyone have a good time

And for those local people.. thanks so much for getting up the guts to come to a sanctioned show, trying something new and coming out to support the show- see I told you it was fun and not really scary at all :aktion033:

You Guys put on a GREAT show! Alan was happy to help out. I threw in one of his show shirt because a gal from over here ask him to drive her horse in gentleman's. . He is always happy to step in the ring.

Kim's Bilbo was a perfect gentleman in the halter class. I don't think he moved a muscle or maybe it was the guy on the end of the lead. Kim should be proud!

We went over without horses or kids and had a great time. These guys are on their way to having sucessful shows in the furture. The facitlity was great. We will be going with horses and kids next year.
