Back From Nationals!

[blackpearl]

Hi Everyone! Well I am home from Nationals. Boy am I tired out. I had a great time at Nationals. There sure was alot going on there.

Miss Sandi, you're blind horse in the largo race was incredible. What an awesome tribute to the bond and the trust your horse must have for you. That was the coolest thing I've ever seen. CONGRATULATIONS~

I hope everyone had a good time at Nationals and a safe trip home.

We had a great time at Nationals. I didn't get their untill friday, but I stayed their all day on saturday. It was so much fun. I saw you their. Lori pointed you out to us when you were in the ring. How many ribbons did you win and in what classes? I can't remember what class you were in when I saw you, but I thought you did great.

Hi Baileyholc. I had a blast there too. I was there 9 days so it is really good to be home.

I got Res. Champion in Horsemanship, 3rd in Equitation, and 6th in fino and Performance. The competition in the youth classes this year was tough. There were some awesome horses there. Oh I won a saddle too and can you believe my mom tried to swipe it from me. The seat is made out of memory foam. It is a paso-micro lite. It was so comfy. I have to wait until they make it for me but it should be really cool,

I was the escort for the American flag on Saturday night. Did anyone see the sparkles, and flags and stars we painted on my horse. His mane was braided too. He looked so awesome. That was so much fun.

I want to do exhibitions and parades this year and give people a chance to see or pet a horse if they've never had the chance.

Congradulations on the wins. I think if my daughter won a memory foam seat I would try to swip it too. LOL. Yes, I saw you in the flag ceremony. My daughter took video. She loved the way your horse looked, I heard a lot of people were we were sitting complementing you and your horse. You made us proud last night.

Doing exhibitions and parades is a great idea, I'm sure many people are not aware of how gentle and intelagent the Paso Fino is. And that is a great way to get noticed.

We watched you in several classes Jessy! Congrats on all your wins! You had some fantastic rides.

I am tired out too. That was literallly the longest horse show I have ever attended or participated in. :shock: 8-)

It was stressful, it was fun, it was PASO FINO GRAND NATIONALS. 8-)

It was great to meet and see so many GREAT ppl from the board, and some that are not.

And yeah, Bronce was AMAZING in the largo race! I think it was cool that he was featured in Showtime this issue. I only wish we had the video from the largo race for it. :-?

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I'm kind of looking forward to a break and I think my horses are too. The weather is getting cooler and I really want to go on some trail rides. I think we are going to maybe go to the Grand Prix in November and then for the holidays my parents are talking about spending that time in Arizona with our race horses. I've never been to Arizona. Are there any BB members way out there???
