GLHA Show Time!




The week has finally come! We had the AHR show earlier, in September, and had a decent showing.  There were a LOT of horses showing Pleasure in our classes, and some riding classes, we didn't place.  Billie Jean and Sunny did very well in their cart classes, placing high in all of them.  She also rode him in the Western riding classes.  Jim and Mel rode English and Western, and also in pole bending, Western Reining, trail classes, and a keyhole event.  Our biggest showing was in the Gelding Pleasure Halter class, ages 5 and up, in which we placed 4th overall.  Both horses handled themselves quite well, and we had a good time.

Now, we are ready for the GLHA show in Lansing!  We leave this morning, with 2 trucks, a horse trailer, a  covered hauling trailer, 4 adults, 2 tween/teens, and 2 toddlers, plus 4 horses and tons of tack, harness, buggies and carts!  It'll be a caravan for sure!  We are bringing Sunny, Atta-Boy, and Mel to show, and are also planning to put Mel and our yearling filly, Stateside News, in the sale on Saturday.  

We are showing in many, many classes!  everybody coming with us will be showing in some way, so our 3 horses will be getting quite a work out!  We have 3 horses in English and Western riding classes, 2 horses in ladies' and men's cart classes, youth cart classes, walk/trot riding classes, lead line classes, and Mel will also be trying the dressage class this time!  We will be so busy!  Hopefully we can post some video or some pics soon.

We have 4 pictures posted here of Mel and Stateside News that will be framed at the show for all to see.  These were designed by our daughter who has a blog showing her creative skills:  Whimsicalblessings 

Come on out to the show and see us!  HaflingerFest is all day Thursday and Friday, Futurity Friday morning, and horse sale on Saturday at the MSU Pavilion in East Lansing.
