The New Year also brought in our first show outside of Region 6! We attended the New Years Bash with our newly streamlined show string and had an absolute blast. It was nice to be free of the burden of over 100 show horses, favoring instead to bring only 40 horses to make it to the show ring.
At the end of the day, our Custom Show String seemed to outshine our Artist Resin one by having four of our very own in the call back class for the Division Championships! It was a very happy day full of great successes for us. We even were able to purchase 5 new horses for our collection from the Breyer Vendor that was at the horse show.
The highlight of the show was when my Ideal Quarter Horse, Sunny (Offspring of Go Man Go OF Breyer) won the "My Favorite Horse" class. It made me really overwhelmed with pride to see that my little boy, my special boy from my childhood, went above and beyond to win a very, very personal class. It was hard to judge one horse against another since there was so much sentiment there but when I saw him with his little plastic cup I could've cried. It was a very emotional moment!
Oh, and while the few Breyers we had in attendance didn't seem to do well, I have to give a shout out to Rhinestone Cowgirl, for getting first place in her class of Sport Horses of Color! It was a class of 32 horses and I was so delighted to see she pinned! Well done, girl!
Not sure what my next show will be, but I did have a lot of fun there!
