19th March 2016 we attended the Torquata All Arabian show, our first show for the year. We had a huge day planned, entering over 20 classes in both halter and ridden events. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side this year and a storm saw the show cancelled due to heavy rain and lightning. This meant we missed out on the fun stuff, costume, working stockhorse and games and others.
We had a great show though and walked away with plenty of ribbons.
He placed 2nd in the WA Bred Stallion Class, 2nd Stallion aged 4yo to 6yo and Reserve champion Stallion/Colt, He placed 2nd in the Sporthorse Male class, 1st Ridden Stallion. We were invited to compete in the Ultimate Arabian class where we were awarded a finalist ribbon.
He is so much fun to work with, a real showman, he loves to fly his tail high, not out of fear, just pure pride. His ridden work is improving, Considering the limited time I have to ride and school him I think he is doing well. Onwards and upwards.
Many thanks to Katherine Scott and Chris Ros for these great photos.
