We took 19 kids to the State 4-H show this past week/end. It was a ton of fun, though very tiring. Our small pony showed in the sidesaddle class and was just the cutest thing in the ring. She was the only one in there under 16h. A horse I sold a few years back actually won the class. Figured I would post picture links to show how cute she was. :)

You have no idea, lol. Me and her mother are tack addicts. We send links back and forth to each other almost every day for clothes and tack. That kid owns more stuff than any kid without their own pony. She is always the very best turned out and is crazy anal about her ponies turn out to, even for the smallest of local shows.

Adorable! I love her smile in the 2nd photo. Proud as can be!

Optical, is that you in the second set of photos? Very nice.



Duh, I re-read your post. It was your horse! I swear, don't anyone give me an intelligence test today!

I'm sure Cody thinks he's a big horse, but he measures right on 15 hands.
Here he is telling Al Cook exactly what he thinks of having to say cheese after working so hard: :nyah:

And why is it that the only halfway decent trotting pic has some other horse's rear end in it??? There were only 9 horses in the class, shooting them individually can't be but so hard in the coliseum.

Anyhow,
What the OP didn't tell you was that it only took 8 people a grand total of 4.5 min to dress that pony kid. She was waiting to jog in the pony hunter, and had to do a super quick change.

That was such a nightmare. Were standing in the hunter ring which was not close to where they were going to do sidesaddle, and someone tells the poor kid that she is going to have to decide between doing her hunter class (second trip) or her sidesaddle class. This is a little kid who has had her heart set on doing the sidesaddle. So now she is freaking out and so I run to the show office to see if they would hold the sidesaddle class. They say yeah, so were up doing hunter rounds and here "this is a 5 minute gate call for the hunter sidesaddle". Luckily she had just finished. Poor kid and pony. Pony was cantering in hand next to me to keep up while I was running to get down there.

Thanks to everyone who helped get her in the ring. (Even if she did get placed below the two who cantered around on the wrong lead)

Your kid and pony were too cute! Now Rebekah wants to try sidesaddle, I think you've started something!

And Liberty winning was so exciting...her mother actually fell down beside me!

State was fun this year but I'm glad we have a whole year before we have to do it again...I'm tired!

And Bybeegirl, I thought the pictures this year were NOT the best (to put it politely). Not a good trot picture of any of my ponies (you'd think with 3 there we'd get luck once). Every kid that won champion got their picture beside the Horse Center sign EXCEPT Sarah. Took in front of the announcers booth with a crowd of people in the background :pissed: Why would I want that? And both pics of Georgia had her tail swishing.

I also noticed that most of the trotting pictures had the kids in the rising position. Isnt it common knowledge that the down part of the trot is the pretty part of the picture? Im pretty sure my mom got some pictures of Sarah. She was just the cutest thing in the ring.

I was very proud that Liberty won the class. He also had great over fences classes. I enjoy watching him probably only because he is no longer mine. They make such a nice pair.

The kids have to post at the trot? That's unusual (and very uncomfortable too).
