Show Results

It is an ambitious endeavor to bring 4 horses to a three day show (two of them being breeding stallions). It also takes a village of people helping to pull it all off. John rode his buns off, and as usual, impressed us all with his great riding. Nicki, RSF assistant trainer, was an awesome groom, assisted by her boyfriend, Dave and her good friend Eleanor. John's mom, Deb and his girlfriend, Beth also helped. I drove back and forth to the show grounds and drove the trailer, and meanwhile bred mares at home and delivered a foal. Ok, remind me and John about this when we enter the next horse show....

Like last year, the stallions got better as the show went on. This was their first show of the season and they had to get out of the breeding groove and into the showing groove. They were really well behaved. Dhijon was a last minute substitute for Whellington, who was entered in the USEF 4 year old class. Whellington had gotten kicked and was unable to go. Despite having a deer in the headlights look occassionally, Dhijon was a superstar. Whalter was not into showing, and mostly just schooled. There were other horses there with RSF ties who did really well. Lhukas, bred by me, by Loerke and out of Fhlora was the champion of the training level adult amateur challenge. Hakuna Matata, by Gold Luck out of a TB mare, bred and ridden by Marsha Montgomery, was very successful, too.
