JP :>    Just HAD to tell you Meg ...... I took X to a show last
JP :>Saturday -- showed him in Halter Geldings class .... WE
JP :>TOOK 1ST PLACE!!!!!  HOORAYYYYYY!!!
Well, I'm not surprised!  He is beautiful, you know!
Congratulations!
JP :>    I only showed him on a flute -- wasn't really going to
JP :>show him halter as it's really hard for an Arabian to beat
JP :>Quarter horses in this area .  I thought it would give
What class was it?  Open halter?  I'm surprised you have classes where 
Arabs/Paints/QH's compete against each other.  What is the criteria?
JP :>Quarter horses in this area .  I thought it would give
JP :>him good expierence (quite time etc) to have to stand still
JP :>and be around other horses and people and "hub bub" to to
JP :>speak.  AND WE WON!!!  I just can't believe it 
Good idea!  Especially in a nice small quiet class like that.  Obviously, he 
did well!!
JP :>    My intention was to show him in the Trail Class ....
JP :>however, one of the other horses here had bit him on his
JP :>ear and he wouldn't even let me get close to his ear and I
JP :>couldn't put a bridle on him ..... he'd let me put a halter
JP :>on him but I just couldn't slip that bridle over his head.
Ouch!!  Nasty horse!!  Hope he's OK now.
JP :>turn.  Oh well ..... NEXT time *I* will do better .
What is this class???  New to me (g), which isn't saying much!  Do they judge 
how you handle the horse?  The horse?  Both?  Sounds interesting. Also sounds 
like you did pretty well except for that one flub!
JP :>    Just had to tell you ...... I was so excited for X in
JP :>the halter class against those other horses!!
Me too!  But then you've always known how I feel about him anyway (g)!!
Glad to see you back on the echo again.  Where've you been?  Have you seen my 
posts about the new horse (red roan Appy mare)?
