HORSE SHOW MADNESS!!!

We went to our first horse show on Saturday the 3rd. We had 4 different people showing as well as my two cousins and their kids in a leadline class. Naomi was going to show Salona, but sadly Salona got hurt the day before. Naomi took a pitch hit and did a quick clean on Popper and took him instead. I am very proud to say both Popper and Naomi did quite well. You can see on the one Picture all of us riding over to the ring. Danny decided to try his hand at the show with Smitty. Poor Smitty just came down from Oregon so he is still wearing his winter fur! They had a great time. Smitty is such a nice calm horse.

My cousin John showed his first show too. He had to borrow some clothes from Memo but it worked!

Diane took her husband's horse Chance. Joe (her husband) and Memo got to be grooms for the day. They both did such a good job getting all of us clean and beautiful and being "show husbands" for the night. They were VERY encouraging, though I think it was far more fun for Diane and I! I showed Scooter. She looked very pretty and did a nice job considering her time under saddle.

Diane showed her in the halter class for me because, well simply I don't like to run! All in all it was a great night. We had a lot of fun and unbeknownest to our husbands both Diane and I are now addicted and looking forward to the shows in the fall.
