I am so happy that this show is taking place on September 17! It was going to move to August and I was going to be so bummed that I couldn't go, but they changed it to Sept 17 and YEAH I am entered now!
And I booked my hotel room. Now to plan my show string, which is hard when you are working 50 hours a week, volunteering around 10 hours a week and only have 1 day a week off!
I figured out my show string about two days before the show because I was so overwhelmed with work. That was a mistake because I did not give myself time to learn my performance set ups.
Friday Night was the Swap meet. I got to chat to a few people and then I was able to purchase a Pebbles Stock horse to customize, three Little Bit breyers to customize, a Classic Jet Run for my show string and a Peter Stone Chip Warmblood for my show string!
My motel room at the Motel 6, about 15 minutes from the show hall, was very nice and a decent price.
I arrived on time for set up on Saturday, but was slow organizing and it was a bit of a cluster for me. I ended up getting all of my performance set ups on the table, but I did not do as well with them as I had hoped, because I was also trying to run to the rings to get OF Minis, Custom and AR horses on the table. It was a good learning experience and the Performance Judge Teresa Buzzell gave me some great pointers.
I did well overall and can't complain. Anna Miller puts on awesome shows and I was very pleased with the day, especially a Reserve OF Champion Mini of Show! YEAH!
I was glad for the hotel as I went back and crashed then drove home Sunday morning.
I will definitely attend again!
