4-H Winter Points Show 2011

The 4-H Winter Points Show has come and gone, and all we have left are memories and PICTURES.  So, here are the pictures.  This year, there were a couple of professional photographers there so we purchased one of their discs.

Pathfinder's Prepoint Horse Show 3/12/2010

Here are some pictures of Krystal competing in the Pathfinder's Horse Show.

4-H Winter Points - Western Riding Day 2010

Today was the Western Riding portion of the 4-H Winter Points show.  There are only two shows a year in which the kids can earn points towards the silver buckels given to the winners at the end of the season.  This show, and the one that happens at the Pima County Fair.  So all the horse shows thus far this season, have been practice for this show.  It's been kind of a long day, and we have to get up bright and early tomorrow to go back to the fairgrounds for the English Riding portion of the point show.  So, all I'm going to do is post a few pictures and videos and climb into my bunk for the evening.  I do believe that is the first time I have ever written the word bunk.  Somehow it seemed appropriate for Western Day.  I wonder what the English call it.

She didn't place in the Western Bareback Riding, but I have to say this is the one that I am most proud of.  She went out there and competed even though she was scared to do it. 

Gizmo

Sometimes I feel sorry for Gizmo.  Whenever the poor guy falls asleep on the floor, someone feels the need to pick him up and treat him like a baby.  How he can possibly get a decent nap in, I'll never know.



Silver Spurs Pre-Point Horse Show 2010

We had a good time at the pre-point show.  Here are some pictures that my folks took.  For some reason I was having problems with my camera and most of my pictures were blury.

English Pleasure

She swears she doesn't play with thr rubber bands on her braces, but all these pictures show it.  LOL  The next show we are going to try going without rubber bands so she can paste that show smile on her face.

Western Showmanship (lots of competition)

Part of the trail course.

In these three pictures, you can see one of the obstacles where she had to enter a square and then turn the horse a full 360 degrees without touching the logs.  Not so easy on a big horse like Mrs. Arnold.

The bridge on the trail course (no sweat)
