Our big day was yesterday. Our 1st ever real registered show. I had mentioned that I was only going to show Willow, but took Bailey in too.
So I arrive home yesterday after a huge day showing.
Husband greets me at the driveway. Conversation goes something like this...
"How did you go?"
"Got 1st place and 2nd place"
"Really? Who took 1st, who took 2nd?"
"Willow 1st place, Bailey 2nd place"
"Ohh excellent. How many other horses were they up against?"
"Well, Bailey was up against another gelding in his class & Willow was the only filly in her class"
"So they actually came last?"
"LOL. I guess they did!"
Anyway, we had a blast! Luckily my Mum came along to help out as I needed her there. She helped with last minute grooming a took over the role of photographer for the day which I was so thrilled with.
My girl Willow looked so beautiful. I hadn't done any practicing at home with standing her up etc as I have been sick with a rotten cold so we took our chances and went along anyway.
Like I said, it was a small country show so not many entries as most people had headed to the other side of town for a bigger miniature show.
And just my luck, it started to rain just as we entered the show ring!
More photos and details coming!
