Crochet Me Crazy

It was a lot of fun and a great experience for Alison showing Princess today! Alison placed 5th of 5 horses though! There were 23 horses but they broke the Mares off and there were only 5 mares. We were at the stables at 7:30 this morning where we did the final touches to Princess.....she got her hooves trimmed and painted. It was a bit of a let down today though...not really because she placed last but because it wasn't anything like we were led to believe it was. Alison really didn't get to do any of the stuff she's worked with Princess on. What she should have been working on is just standing there. That's mostly all they did. The judge apparently didn't like Princess at all because she went down the line saying what she liked about each horse and she didn't really say anything about Princess. I don't think it mattered one bit the grooming or the showmanship. All she looked at was the horse itself standing there. The 4th place horse had dirt on his back. Alison got a 5th place ribbon and a ONE DOLLAR Bill! LOL -- It's all okay though. Alison had fun doing it and she definately had fun spending all that time with Princess grooming her and getting her ready. I'm no horse expert but Princess was the still the prettiest horse there (but I'm very biased :) I am so proud of Alison for what she has accomplished this past year with Princess.

Princess was pretty alert while we waited....
