We had our 4th show today. We were lucky because it was only a 30 minute drive which was nice compared to the normal 3 hour drives lol. I didnt decide to go until Friday evening so it was a last minute show, i was supose to do Area II regionals friday but had to call and cancel as we were just to busy getting everything set up and together for our family reunion which was Saturday. I was at first planning on taking Chief, Narko, Coco and possibly Pressy. But yesterday i was bathing Chief first and it was so chilly, i just couldnt bare to give anyone else a bath. Poor chief was shaking after the bath, even with three blankets on. I'm not going to risk anyone getting sick just for a halter class. So only Chief went, which i am glad because when we got to the show today they were out of stalls and i couldnt worry about four horses tied to the trailer lol. I didnt even let go of Chief's lead today lol. I worry to much

Oh yes, the show grounds were absolutely amazing. It was the Pegasis Equine Center, they are a HUGE arabian farm, i mean amazing. These people are the 'little kings farm' of Arabians lol. I just cannot believe all that is a breeding farm, looked more like a fairgrounds to me.

Got to meet Morgan from the forum

. Spent most the day with Linda (LGahr) and Jayme (JBrat), both did excellent with their horses and wow did dusty (JSW Dusty Cowboy) look gooooood that Linda showed. He can come live here anyday! Maybe i can get those two to post pics :bgrin.

Okay, placings now. First off, the classes were HUGE, i am talking on average 12-20 entrys per class. Chief's halter class had 18 entrys in it. He looked good but didnt place but his class was huge and they only placed to 5th (maybe 6th?) i think. Then we had the solid color class, Chief placed 4th our 21 entrys!!!!! Then the Pretty Face Contest, that class was huge with 24 entrys and Chief didnt place in that class. Then in Jumper, he tested me but we came out with 2nd out of four!!! Our last class was Halter Obsticle which let me just say upfron their are reasons i dont do obsticle classes bc i dont have time to squeeze in any practice time and it showed lol. Well, Jayme said if i did it she would do it soooooo. It was an experience, umm i do not think obsticle is for me lol

Just a couple pics, i didnt have a chance to get any taken during the classes in the ring (exept the obsticle class) so most of these are from back at the trailer.

Falling asleep, he was so tired

Well thank you for letting me share my placings with you. Thought i would throw in a couple pics just for fun. This is our last show until Congress unless we do ohio world but i do believe the entrys are do in by the 30th so this is it until Congress and then we have 2 shows in august and 2 in early september and i think we are flying out to Nationals for a couple days. Still allot ahead of us

Sounded like a nice show! We are possibly going up for the Ohio World show with a couple...I'm going to try to get Joker at least qualified for nationals and then see if he's even going to be ready as he's so darn hot right now lol. I was actually thinking of having him gelded, but I'm not sure..

Hi wow Chief looks amazing, everytime you post a photo of him he really catches my eye - he's stunning! Is he the horse you are training in harness at the moment? One of my guys Ace has been in harness for a couple of months now and we've just been tootling round the farm getting used to everything but I'm looking forward to showing him in harness this coming season. I'm in New Zealand so Its deep dark winter down here at the moment! :bgrin
 
Hey Leeana Congrats on Jumping!! Yes I CANT wait to go to Worlds with you! It was really nice to finally meet you. Are you really sunburnt? I look like a lobster! talk to you soon!
 
They look great esp. Chief!

Congratulations on the show and thanks for sharing.

He is almost to the point where we are going to start him actually in the cart. He grounds drives wonderful and so far lately we made a thing out of PVC pipe for him to drag on wheels and no real trouble. I am debating on sending him off to the trainer towards the end of next month and letting them do that part but i feel pretty confident in him though and safe, which is always good

Hey Leeana,

It sure was a AWESOME Farm! Wish it was mine!!!!!

Most of the class's were very large! It was a pretty big show esp. for a fun show.

I should have some pics. of you and Justin in the halter class. I'll send them to you once I get them dl'd off the camera.

I'm beat! Cedar point all day yesterday and first show today, it'll probably be tomorrow before I send them to you.

I'm to tired to mess with it tonight.

Jayme, i sent pics to your mom from the show along with the sheath cleaning song so she doesnt think we were crazy

I am going to put a couple more pounds on Chief, i just dont know how much more food i can get into him ..there are only 24 hours in a day lol.

Since the minis are done until Congress i am giving them two weeks off, now Royale is my main focus. I am prob going to give Chief a couple days to recover from the show before starting ground driving some more. Yesterday was really hard on him, standing on that black top all day and being all go go go go all day. I just went out this morning to feed him and normally he is kicking and jumping in his stall waiting to go out but today he was just standing there looking like he did in that first pic

congrats leanna!!! he sure looks good. we really missed you at the regional show. Kept watching for you to show up. I think Chief could do well at obstacle but its one of those classes that requires tons of practice. Sounds like you guys had some really big classes. And the cold weather this weekend was just bizarre! im so glad we had washed our horses friday while it was still hot. I know horses at the regional show that had to get bathed were really shivering.

oops i meant to ask are you going to the world show?? we can stall by each other

let me know as im getting ready to mail my entry

. Plus the world is just so close to congress time.

I'm going to go down for one day and watch during world, whichever day Morgan (Frizzles Gal) goes down i will prob go that day. Let me know what days you guys are going to be there and show, i want to be there to watch
