Price's first horse show in Leadline on Beech Tree Majatisa. His trusty lesson horse Arianna was a bit overwhelmed by seeing the inside main arena and I switched mounts before his class to Maja. That was his first time riding Maja.... he did well!

l-r: Stacey with Price; Tony, Jeany and Bailey; Lynn and Ladybug (Novia Dulce). Missing from pics are Grayson, Kerry and Allison who were around, but MIA at this photo op.

It was a gorgeous fall day for the fair. 60 horses, 10 down from last year, but still horses in most classes. For some, this was their first Paso Fino show. It is a great show to get that initial experience at. We had horses from out of state also. Didn't see Abby; I was busy and getting ready for the next class, so not at ringside that much. Lori (Echo) and Greg West were there from the Blue Ridge mountains with their beautiful mare Lucy.

Maybe Jeany and Kerry can post some more pics. I didn't take any myself at the show... but there were cameras clicking.

The Piedmont Youth did an excellent job with the Opening Ceremonies Flag presentation Monday evening. I hear there are pics on the Raleigh newspaper News and Observer website (goes all over the state). I'll post a link when I get it.

Another fun thing that happened was the fair had these neat green & yellow tyed-dyed NC State Fair -- "twisted fun" fair slogan shirts they gave to each youth showing. Hey I would of bought one...they were a great souvenier for the youth!

Dana... pole bending, not barrels (not been there yet). We also had 2 youth gal exhibitors in Pole Bending ... so they must be Pole Bending princesses!

Looks great Lynn! Pole bending in one of my favorites.

Price looks very good there, you must be very proud of him.

I wish that my camera took good pictures inside, because there were some real beauties in that show ring. Maybe Kerry got some good pics. That slideshow on the News and Observer was very nice.

It was so good to see everyone, smell fair food (much better than actually eating it!), watch Pasos do what they do best and enjoy some gorgeous October in NC weather.

Price in his "regulars", but always playing it smart, playing it safe. He is just too cute! :D

Lynn - that looks like so much fun. Some of my best memories are of riding my mare Riqueza in pole bending and barrel racing. She LOVED it and so did I. Even though
she was not fast at a canter, we used to win because she could turn so tight aorund
those poles.

Please let me know the next time you are coming to Tennessee or through it. I am really
close to I-40 so not too much out of your way....
