Yesterday I pulled out some of my old show clothes. And me being my weird self I started dressing myself up in it. It was a lot of fun! Most of the shirts that I have are from thrift stores (I've won in them too!) and my "just in case" showmanship pants are from there too. It is surprising how much you can find at a thrift store and of course you can't beat those prices. But the reason for all of this is because... I'm planning to go to a show in August! I'm pretty excited but mainly nervous because it has been so long. We are mainly going for the experience but if we won something then that would be wonderful too! I would really like Ava to start getting back into showing because she always behaved so well and tried her best every time we stepped foot in the arena.
The show is held an hour away but in a town I go to very often. Some classes that I thought we could enter (if we become prepared enough) are showmanship, green horse western pleasure, green horse trail, green horse or W/T horsemanship, western riding, and possibly reining. If we have to travel all that way I want to be in a lot of classes.
As far as our training goes it does seem that it could be possible to do well in some of these classes especially in W/T, but we'll just have to see when the time comes. The one I'm aiming for is in August and if that doesn't workout then we'll aim for the one in September!
I need to get a purple shirt to go with all this black!
Just found your blog. . .
ReplyDeleteThey have green horse classes? I would love to do that. . .maybe. If people had their horses under control. Good luck with your show training!
Thanks for finding my blog! Welcome!
ReplyDeleteAnd they definitely have green horse classes. Haha, yes, I am hoping the horses will be under control too.
Thank you!
