Mom has been remiss and lazy and has not posted the entry I gave her almost a week ago! I guess she's pretty busy with school since she hasn't come out to see me this week, I think it's those "Finals" or whatever she's always talking about. They sound pretty scary. :|

But enough about her, time for me!

So last weekend we went to our first show! And guess what?!


Mom was a nervous wreck and very awkward but I did amazing! There was so much to see and do, so I was a little distracted but after I got to exercise a little in the arena I settled down and did alright. Arabian halter was super easy - I got a first place! It totally helped that I was the only one in the class, haha, I guess I scared all the competition away. Since I got a first in that one, I got to go into the Grand and Reserve Champion halter class. We didn't win - but I got some extra practice and didn't do too badly.

Then came Showmanship. :x It was kind of a disaster, I was pretty fed up with all the primping and fussing and general craziness. Mom didn't set me up right, then I decided to try and leave and whinnied right in the judge's face! It's not my fault she was standing right in front of me! But there were only two people in that class AND we did an amazing 180 - the part mom was most worried about, so all in all I did pretty well!

I got to go visit other horses, get an apple all to myself and explore a little! It was a little overwhelming and I actually kept trying to climb in Mom's pocket to hide - I think she thought it was cute but a little overkill!

Kane and Anna did awesome - the judge at this show was tough! :| I'm still not really sure what she was looking for...

Oh! And she knew my dad! The judge came up to Mom and asked if I was out of King AHeart's - and sure enough, the judge was the one that broke Dad to ride at Salem! Small world!
