Northern Wairoa A& P Show
Arapohoe
Miniature Horse Section
13th Feb 2010
There were many beautiful horse at the show. All looking silky and well turned out. This was Buddy's 3rd show and I realised how much we still have to learn about miniature horse showing. First of all we need to put in heaps more practice time for the events! An di need to practice how to turn a horse out for a show. With more training I'm sure our efforts will improve. Every one admired Buddy's dapples which look lovely. We were placed second in the Junior Gelding section and given a blue ribbon. We enjoyed most of the events we entered and had a great time gaiing tips and turn out secrets from other competitors. It was a windy day which wasn't helping the situation. Buddy had a hard time with the obstacle course as things kept moving and waving in the wind! Of course he thought the flags were out to get him. which much assurance we made it around the course. Great entertainment for spectators. A big thankyou to Tim and Sue for Transport. With out their support Buddy and I wouldn't make it to the shows.
