Our kind of people...

Have I got a story for you today! Ok..see Roman. He's on the pinto on the very left. This photo is from a Pairs Class which was at the end of the show bill in 2007. He had shown this horse all day and this was the first class he got a saddle on the horse. Before the horse just refused the saddle - wanted nothing to do with it. We saw him ride in the morning before the halter classes and the horse was totally broke - totally safe. So we decided to let him show without a saddle. He just came out to have fun anyway. Our judge that year was John D and he was so cool with it. Everyone had an amazing day! John had a blast judging, Roman and everyone else had great fun showing. All in all a great show. At the very end, John gave an award for most improved horse (Roman's horse - I forget its name...I think its Warrior or something) and most improved rider (Roman because he had fallen off during the lunch break - his horse was so cool about it though...he just stood there waiting for him).

So anyway, that's my story for today. That's the kind of people we hired to judge our show. We want judges that can have spur-the-moment fun just like us. If we add classes we don't want judges to throw a fit about it, we want them to suggest different classes to add. and give out impromptu awards like John did. Stef should do a great job with that in Waterloo this year. She's a definite fun-lovin' kinda girl! And in Iowa Falls this year, JOHN'S BACK! So that show is bound to be fun!

Well I better get ready for work. Hopefully I'll see all you fun-lovers at the shows this year!
