MH&PE NATIONAL SHOW (NSW) - 21/3/10

Okily dokily, just got my entries in. I've entered my two pinto foals into halter classes, and my gelding into novice trail. Clipfest starts tomorrow and I still have to find a suitable halter for Holly.

Ive clipped..nearly...realized that the horse clippers wont actually clip the minis legs/face as they are to big..So off to newmarket tomorrow...I did have a small set but broke them a day after I got em...Opps teach me to try and pull em apart.
Ive dyed warriors mane show rugs are washed and cleaned.
Oh gotta go buy a performance lead as well.

Kay,has duke ever done trail before? is he going in novice?
I entered shatter and warrior...LMAO I have done no practice with warrior at all..Cant even get them to back up without touching them

LOL should be...Intersting to say the least.

He has never done trail before competitively and yes he's going into novice, and no, I haven't done any recent training with him either, and no he doesn't back up!! LOL... so I have a week to teach him. Fun fun.

Well enjoy the novice trail guys - i wont be in it now by the looks of it My black gelding sliced the back of his foot open yesterday so he wont be there now, i might try it with one of my colts though lol.
Time to shuffle round classes and see if i have anything to fill my geldings 5 classes.

Cant wait to see you all there lets keep fingers crossed for good weather and hopefully not too hot!!

Anyone know if there will be a photographer at this event? Everywhere I seem to get there never is one or there not there to take random photos.
Would be intersting...Wouldnt mind so pro shots of the ponys (with me cropped out,of course lol)

I would say there would be one or two. Anthony Leighton did the last MH&PE show, so he will probably do this one too, if not one of the others.

OK spoke to Anthony and he is not photographing the show, but organisers have told me that there will be at least one, hopefully two, photographers there - I don't know who though.

OK so just checking to see exactly who will be going to the show tomorrow, how many you are taking and what classes are you in?? And most importantly --ARE YOU READY???

I just have to give the girls a big bath and load the car, and I am set!

I spoke to a lady I met off FB she is a photographer and lives at Pit'own (lol) She said she might come out and take some photos (she just travels to random horse events and likes to take photos)

Im not ready....Ive bathed one horse decided to lunge Voodoo... lol. woops
Two to bath and then gotta get everything ready...well I have shined my shoes... thats a start.
It wont take long to bath them and not much to get ready so Hopefuly im done by 3 pm.

I really should get off facebook and wash them. I just remembered I still have to wash Duke as well... then again he's only in trail so I guess he doesn't have to be clean...

Were all washed.... and rugged.

Cappas face looks grose...I started to clip it but he wont let me finish and OMG you can so tell.... I was considering scratching him its that bad.

Unless I can blend some makeup into it but I doubt it Hmmm if I scratch him I wonder if I can trade warrior into the Dilute class in place of Cappa.

Don't worry mine aren't perfect either, but the way I look at it, we shouldn't be judged on my clip job unless it's a best presented class.. so if I get marked down for that, that's just stupid.
