Horse Show, Dog, and People Pictures!!

[Toby's my baby]

A few of you know that I was gone this past week, busy with a horse show. I had a BLAST, but it wasn't all fun and games. Picture are coming, after I share with you all that happened..;) I became really good friends with Josh and Matt, who were already good friends with each other. They taught me a lot about horses, and helped me with Austin, and how to get him to run faster, and turn faster. They are two of the sweetest guys I have met, without them, I dont know what I would have done these last four days. :D On Saturday (day 3 of the show) Matt's horse broke its halter and got loose. Two Socks (matts horse) got seriously injured, he slit open his right shoulder on a fifth wheel hitch on a camper. Matt saw it happen and they got Two Socks into a stall. His cut was about 9 inches long, and about 3 inches deep. There was actual muscle from Two Socks on the hitch of the trailer. I stayed with Matt, Josh, and Two Socks all day (from about 11am to 12am) It took the vet 30 minutes to get to the barn, and we were all really upset about that. Roger, Matt's dad, held rags on Two Socks' shoulder to stop the bleeding. Matt was very upset about the whole thing, but then, who wouldn't? I didn't get any pictures of Two Socks' cut though, because I didn't leave Matt and Josh's side all day to go to my trailer and get the cam.

On Saturday night, me, Josh, and Matt went to the Bull Ride which was at the County Fair (as was the horse show). I ended up babysitting a Peek-a-Pom all night too, and brought Billy (the pup) to the Bull Ride.

On Sunday, a sweet sweet lady that I know, got bucked off her horse, and landed flat on her back. She couldn't feel her legs, and wasn't able to move. The ambulance had to come and pick her up. She was ok, and was back at the barn Sunday night.

Results from the show:

Thursday, 4-H gamming events:
Keyhole- Blue
Pole Weaving- Red (Austin was being VERY naughty)
Jumping Firgure 8- Blue
Barrel Racing - Red

Friday, western pleasure events:
Showmanship - blue
Horsemanship- Blue
Pleasure - Blue

Saturday, I only did one class, grade geldings 3 and up, we took first place

Sunday: I was so proud of Austin on Sunday, he did great. Their were a LOT of horses in our class (about 20-25)
Horsemanship - 4th
Pleasure - 5th
Barrels -didn't place
Poles - dont know
Keyhole - 4th

And I almost forgot, I met a PET TALKER!! :D I was so excited to meet her. I met Steph (jesse_3) on Saturday night. Unfortunatly, I didn't get to spend a lot of time talking to her, because we didn't get to meet until Saturday night, and it was right before the fireworks at the Fair, and I had to watch Austin, so he didn't break out of his stall during the loud noises. It was GREAT to finally meet her though! :)

LOTS of pictures coming up... I only got pictures of my friends and my family, sorry. :o

Those are great pictures. I just love horse shows.

Louie is a cutie.

[Toby's my baby]

This is Billy, the PeekaPom that I babysat, he is a DOLL and I told Dawn (Josh's mom, the owner of Billy) that if I had to babysit him, that I got to take him home ;) She told me that she only trusted me with him, and not even her own sons. These pics dont do him justice

[I_luv_rusty]

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Wow, you really spoiled us with all these beautiful horse pics! I enjoyed every single pic!! THANKS!!

[animal_rescue]

Great Pics, the show looked like it was a lot of fun!!

[ramanth]

Great photos! I love the one of you and Austin in action (his run). My aunt used to barrel race. I never got to see her compete in person, but I loved getting the photos.

I want to take ALL the horses home! :D

Did you get any photos of Two Socks? I hope he's okay. Poor guy. I've cracked my head on my parents 5th Wheel hitch, so I know they can do quite a bit of damage.

[Toby's my baby]

Did you get any photos of Two Socks?

Nope, I didn't get any picture of Two Socks. Hopefully she will be ok. She was an excellent barrel racer, and so beautiful. I'm going to make a thread for her in Pet General, and I will update it when possible. Me and her "dad" became good friends after she was injured. I'll try call him often, and get an update. :)

[shais_mom]

great pics! :)

[Flatcoatluver]

I love the pics, looks like so much fun! I love how you decorated your horse barn! Great pics, Austin is so gorgeus!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Haha, no kiding... ;)

[Roxyluvsme13]

*agrees with Alicia* ;)

[Miss Z]

They are brilliant pictures! You definitely had a great time, Austin and Cisco and all the other horses look immaculate :D

I didn't know you could jump in a Western saddle, I thought it would prevent you moving forward with the horse as it jumps? You learn something new everyday!

[Toby's my baby]

I don't think you are SUPPOSED to jump in a western saddle, but you can little jumps, I do up to about 3 1/2 feet....

[Suki Wingy]

AWSOME PICS!! Jumping western, lol. You should send those pics to this place (http://members.surfbest.net/[email protected]/critique.html)! I love the roan mare you said you'd buy, gorgeous! That kid on the huge chestnut made mt laugh.
