I'm delighted to announce that the leased greenie and I made our 3' debut last weekend in the Adults, and we didn't suck! :lol: I haven't shown in many years, and he has only done low schooling divisions at a handful of shows. So this was a pretty big leap of faith. But he didn't bat an eye at the spooky ring, didn't have any major temper tantrums, got down the lines easy and got all of his changes. ALL of those things were open questions, and I managed to hold it together reasonably well, so I was thrilled. We just need to smooth out the rough edges and work out some speed/steering issues involving the in-gate. Let's just say that we got down the lines heading towards the gate a whole lot quicker than the ones jumping away from the gate. ;) But I'm terribly proud of the little guy -- he really, really tried hard for me. And the cherry on top is that we even got some nice ribbons in good company.

Will you be going again this week? I took one of the greenies over to school and plan to again this wednesday, possibly might show her in something. She was great during schooling, would not have even realized she was green.

Thanks guys! Sadly, no photos -- no photographer at that show. OI, at this point one show a month is about all I can muster, so I won't be back this week. Good luck if you show! JM, unfortunately I won't be at the next Lexington -- Mr. Delia is spiriting me off to a bed & breakfast that weekend. I plan on going to the Lexington show in early February, but you might already be heading down to Florida by then. And RH, although I didn't meet you, you were still "with" me -- I was wearing your Ariats!

All you A/O's should have come to the Barracks instead of Swan Lake. It was positively balmy out and they split the division!

but they also had Marianna, Zach and Grace...and I'm sure some more "top in the country" types.....that's for the birds!
