Show Prep (Day One)

Today I did a bit of painting (which didn't go terribly well) and then transitioned into show prep.  It turns out Saturday's show has a LOT more OF classes than the last two I went to.  Being that I'm sorta nuts and like to show in every class I can, that means...  taking MORE horses!!  haha

Here are just a couple of pictures from this afternoon/evening's activities:

Going over classlists and making tags

First few classes sorted out, awaiting loading into the "trailers".

I ended up with most of my OF minis packed and almost everyone tagged.  I have a handful of new faces to name and still need to back all of the larger horses.

Tomorrow will be more of the same, finishing packing up for the show and the trip.  Hopefully I'll get some more last minute painting done too (that will turn out better than today's attempts!)

  1. Even your photography is talented. I am covetous. Does that mean I am going to hell???

    2. Haha ;) I wish I could take awesome pictures, I'm often envious of others' photography skills! Often I forget to photograph what I'm doing, but trying to keep up with blogging everyday is making me a little better about it. :)

  2. I wish I was going to a show. I've never been to one and I think some of my horses could place but I'm kinda nervous to go. Any suggestions?

    1. Showing is a LOT of fun, I think the best thing I could recommend is to see if there are any shows near you and go check it out. Most shows have a Novice division, so you could start out there if you want and not have to worry about competing with the experienced people. That was how I started out at my first ever show. In my experience, most people at shows are very nice and helpful. :)
