Boy I havent been so good at keeping the blog updated have I? We are getting ready for winter and have listed some horses for sale, some have already left to their new homes and Scamp and Pisim will be on their way next weekend. So sad saying good-bye but it sure feels good knowing they are going to good homes where they will not only be loved but their full potential will be realized as well.
We went to our very first APHA breed show in Moose Jaw on the 26th, well actually I should say it was the first time the kids entered in classes and competed with their horses, and what an absolutely wonderful and exhausting experience it was! It didnt help that we decided to bring along an almost pure white horse, lol. Boo went with Keestin and Kata brought her mare, Rocki (who was 6 months pregnant!). They had so much fun they even forgot to take in the waterslides while we were there, which is a huge compliment to the show itself, trust me.
I was so proud of Keestin and Boo, partly because we were so amazed at how well they did in showmanship. Boo is a natural born showmanship machine, he really is, and he loved all the attention, with all the preening over him in the washing area, and all the grooming. I was actually very nervous when Kata and Rocki entered that big arena by themselves. We seemed almost too far away from them and they were on their own, so that was nerve wracking. But I whispered into Rocki's ear before they went in, "take care of my girl in there" and she did. This is something I always do with her, and she seems to know exactly what i am saying every time. She is truley a special mare.
I wish we could have 3 or 4 just like her!
The photos are coming, i will post them as soon as they arrive. As it was our first breed show, we of course had to order as many photos as possible, lol.
until later, take care... Tracey.
