Got a letter from the Arabian Horse Association last Friday. Apparently our guy Bay who is sweepstakes nominated won a bit of money last spring. Being clueless about all things complicated (or at least complicated to me) when it comes to showing, I had no idea until I received this letter. He took reserve champion at both 1st and 2nd level at the Arabian sporthorse regional championships in the amateur to ride division. The young lady who rode him did an awesome job. She has since moved away and is not showing him this season. We are very proud of this rider because as our trainer said of Bay "he is a tough nut to crack." They did it though...together.
Wow- Go BAY! That is really awesome!!!! Do you think anyone will show him this year? (Like...maybe.... YOU?????? ;) )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteHe is absolutely gorgeous, by the way!
Unfortunately, the thought of showing makes me feel sick to my stomach even when I feel that I am riding well and in good shape. Having missed so much riding time this past year I wouldn't begin to do Bay justice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome boy!! Congratulations too!!
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to plan to meet at Pendleton this year. I've been going every year ever since I met My Man...12 years now. We stay on a privately owned lot next to Stillman Park where they do the Cowboy Breakfast.
Yes gtyyup lets do plan on meeting up at Pendleton. We like to go to rodeos but the Roundup is our favorite. Thank you everyone for saying what a goodlooking guy Bay is. He does take a nice picture :)
