Good luck
Do you smell bad today?

Yeah, I smell awful. :ninja. It's so hot in here all I do is sweat all day. No one's complained so I guess I blend in.

So...update...our 2 year old filly got reserve champion! I'm sad, though, because I had to miss the photo. I was getting our 3 year old colt ready for the class right after. BUT he won reserve champion as well so that's awesome! Every one of our horses has gotten roses so far and our best horse has yet to show. Best. Show. Ever.

I am pleased. With you being a Flames fan i recognise that the concept of winning for you is never easy

 

[freakofnature]

I can hardly wait to show you guys some of the pics I've taken. I've gotten some good ones! :thumbup

Oh awesome! Another "zirc talks to herself" thread.

My family is coming to the show today. I'm super pumped about today but I'm running on fumes. I'm probably going to sleep all the way home tomorrow.

Native costume class :thumbup





I loved this costume. It was green and silver and looked fabulous on the dark horse.

 

[freakofnature]

Our three year old filly, RD Taneeka. She was champion mare in the Amateur To Handle class and finished third in the Futurity Fillies class (she missed out on reserve champion by 1 point).

The big guy, Bey Ambition in the Stallions class! I took the pics where he's being stood up for the judges. The rest of the pictures are courtesy of my sister (because I was doing my job.)

















Me working :ninja


When he was announced champion. That's the owner hugging our trainer.


Making my way to the win photo


Setting up for the win photo. I'm standing next to the trainer.


Trucking back across the arena so I'm ready to catch Bey when he exits. (I got top scores for movement )


Leaving a champion.

 

[freakofnature]

This stallion is Marwan El Magnificoo. He was Bey's main threat and was reserve champion stallion. Bey beat him by 9 points. :thumbup







These pics were also taken by my sister. She got some awesome shots and she rocks because I wasn't able to take as many pictures of my horses as I would have liked.

 

[freakofnature]

This is the set up in front of our stall area. Please note all the ribbons, rose garlands and trophies. :cool

So there are the pics. Happy now???

 

[freakofnature]

OK, one more but not of horses.

On the road home.


(No we were not driving half in the ditch. We were pulled over because they needed to adjust a tarp on top of the trailer. I jumped out to take some pics because there was a sunflower field and I like sunflower fields.)
