I won't go on and on and on as I have in the past, but I will just say that we got back from our first *** rated dressage show this weekend. Paddy was a champ, I rode well enough, and we came home with a second and a first. We rode T2 first for a score of 66.something or other (2nd place) and T4 for a score of 64.something or other (first place!). This place offered fabulous prizes! For second place I got a bottle of wine. For first place I got two more bottles of wine, a bottle of balsamic vinegar, a bag of carrots, a wine glass, a bag of feed, and a piece of artwork! Jeepers! I've never been to a show that offered so many prizes! I wrote the show secretary a thank you note letting her know I appreciated her efforts and the hard work and the amazing prizes, and...I'll be back! Now I need some BLING!

That is awesome!!! I'd like to see pictures though. Congratulations on all the loot. What nice prizes. They should give the short stirrup kids wine as a prize since I could really use a glass or two after getting the pony ready and stressing about the kids all day.

Yeah for Fishy. Of course you can be a DQ...and a damn good one at that. And who wouldn't want to be one with all that available loot. Holy crap. I might try my pathetic hand at it for that kind of loot. (I used to give away wine at our schooling show...but these days no one is entering the class. It's a 3' jumpers and we've literally cancelled it at the last 3 shows. The bulk of our entrants are in w/t and w/t/c and then slowly petering out by 2'9" )

Mr. Fishy, you are TOOOO funny as always! Steph, I'm glad I didn't get stuck in LODI again! The show was called "Dressage in the Almonds" and aside from being a boarding/training barn, the property is 30 acres of almond trees...surrounded by vineyard properties. Very nice, actually. I'll have to take back all the bad things I ever said about Lodi! Bummer about your entrants, Snacky. I actually thought of you and all the effort you go to to put on great shows. It really is a lot of work for not much recognition for the organizer. |
