We worked on Princess last night after dark as best we could in the dark barn then this morning we started our day before the sun came up this morning. We left for the show barn around 9:30 am and it was a long day from there. Alison placed 5th of the 5 horses in confirmation which is NOT a surprise for us. We are fully aware that Princess can't place because they are judging on quarter horse standards and Princess is half Percheron. Alison has over 30 horses to choose from to show but she is shooting for winning Showmanship which is what she has won a buckle for in the past. We won't know if she won or not until Saturday. Next year, we're going to show 2 horses. We have other horses that can definately place if she wants to do the work. It's really a lot of work to show a horse and very little reward to it. So showing two horses would be double the work. It'll be a shame if she doesn't win because she does the work herself and many of the kids don't.
The kids showed their goats...none of them placed very well with their goats. The pay-off will come tomorrow for the sale. They should all get money.
We've got goats dropping this week. 4 babies so far and a barn full of nannies tonight that are expecting.
So anyway, just a bunch of pictures from last night & today....
