Hollow Horse Live: show report

I had to wake up at 5 am in order to get to the show and I had to stay up late the night before so as you can probably imagine I was pretty crabby. It didn't help that my aunt was late to meet us so we were going to be late for the show. Right at the intersection she got into a crash...with the curb, and the curb won haha.

Her car was undriveable and we had to wait until my uncle could come and pick her up and for the tow truck. Thankfully it wasn't too long, but we were late to she show. I surprisingly only missed one class, which was a foal class. That may have been due to my pre-planning strategy: pack foals on top since they're small and their classes are first. I didn't do well in the first couple of classes, but eventually my luck started turning with placings and many, many NAN cards:)
I also got the first pick for door prizes! I picked a safari standing warmblood and he turned around and won fifth in his halter class and a first in collectibility!
I also won 10 other cards in halter and collectibility.






I also won 7 NAN cards in performance. I worked really hard on these so I was very pleased with the outcome.



When we were in the car on the way to the show I told my dad, "I better win something big, because I am not a happy camper." Of course I was joking, but my joking wish came true! Remember my pinto andy stablemate from above? Well the 1st place NAN card wasn't the only thing he won that day. In call backs he won the spanish/gaited group champ:
 AND he did even better than that! He took the overall reserve champion for the OF Breyer mini division! I was so happy, especially since his highest placing ever was a 5th place haha. What a comeback!
Overall I had a pretty good day in the end. I wasn't the only one in my family that was showing though! My aunt did too, which is why she tagged along with me to the show. She showed a lot of chinas and a few Breyers. I think she did pretty well for her first show:

"Trixie" my favorite pony who will soon be mine haha


Not bad for horses that she used to play with in the '60s!



Well, that's my show report. I'm going to another show tomorrow(Model Horse Anonymous Live) and I'm very excited! Many more pictures to come and another show report soon!


Thanks for reading!
