Fantasy Farm Horse Show 2008

Everyone said you left one day too soon...

Here we are at the show before the rain came. This is Bree in the bareback class with all the big girls. she took 5th in this class, which is awesome because she has never rode a bareback class before. Bree is the second one in (in the pink shirt) behind Perfixa's head.

This is Haley dunking for apples. The girls had to ride their horse down to the bucket get an apple out of the water and grab their horse and run off. All timed of course so they had to go as fast as they could!

Look how cute Kennedy is in her lead-line class, Cari is giving her the blue ribbon.

Here is Bree dunking for apples. She didn't get too wet, the trick is to try to grab a stem!! She was a big helper with the real little kids.

Bree had a very successful show!!! Look at all the colorful ribbons!! And she ended the show with the big red "Reserve Champion Ribbon" she hung all her ribbons on Cocoa's stall.

Bree and Cocoa in the showmanship class, she looked good in this class!! I couldn't take any pictures of her in her English classes because by the time she was up, it was raining and the barn was so dusty, you wouldn't have been able to see her through the haze. The outdoor pictures always look so much better anyway. Except she wouldn't put her show cloths on.. :(

Bree and Cocoa with the ribbons she won in Halter and Showmanship with the big girls. Yipee!!

Kristen and Perfixa are having a great time competing in bareback, look how far those heels are down!

Emma is on Flash.

Caleb was passing out the ribbons.

Nobody was able to ride Brazen because he could barely walk, we don't know what is wrong with him. It was really sad to watch him. They were giving him more medicine as we were leaving and I think Cari will probably call the vet in the morning.

The day was very much fun, if only the rain would have held off 2 more hours. We were so dusty from being in the barn instead of the outdoor arena. Oh well, everyone had a great time. Everyone asked about you, wondering if you left and made it home safely. Of course I assumed you did, but I didn't hear from you.

Darren just got home and, of course, was curious about everything, he looks forward to talking with you tomorrow.

We love you
