SPORTHORSE shows

Well, the last month has been a time of FISHING for Rob and Horse shows for me..... We both have been able to indulge in our passions..... I am very proud to say that Rain, my "first born", was Regional Reserve Champion Anglo Arab Gelding ATH. He got a huge ribbon and a plaque and I think he hated every moment of it!! I will say that he was a very good boy for me though.....

A few weeks prior to that I took 2 of my youngsters who are for sale to an OPEN show--- much more competion.... some of the horses I was competing against were $40-60,000 horses! So, we took a third, and we were happy with that. I took Cloud, Rain's brother and Mitty..... the chestnut filly from hell!!! she was SO scared and hence SO BAD!!! She was biting me, rearing up, trying to jump out of her stall-and she got hung up on the door so they closed her into the small dark stall and she cried and cried. I wanted to go home!! It was a really hot day too..... thank goodness my friend Kris came with me. ANyways, I survived and the chestnut filly's price went down immensely-- FIRE SALE!!!! ; )


I've also been taking dressage lessons with Buzz my quarter horse, Rob's mount!! ; ) We are doing very well..... I'll send pictures later.


See you!
