I'm back from the show, and the results have been posted on the Show Reports section of the website.

All in all, I did okay. It has motivated me to flesh out my Live Showing section though to add more information about judging, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Blackthorn Stables would like to officially welcome Terms of Endearment aka "Maximus". Maximus came to us all the way from the United Kingdom, and before his stop there he took up residence in Australia but is American bred. He's come a long way, that's for sure. He is performing the levade, a very difficult maneuver that puts him at a 30 degree angle from the ground.

Added new section in the Live Showing Tips section called "Breyer Showing Blues". This section goes over how fickle the OF show ring can be, and what you can do to lessen the blow if horses don't seem to be consistent in their wins.

I also re-added and will be working on my Blackthorn Stables Show String page now that the Live Show Tip section is largely completed. So I'll be going through the process of figuring out exactly how I want to showcase my horses (since some merit more information, while others really should only get very bare bones information).

My new "super horse" arrives tomorrow. Expect lots of pictures!
