Blossom's first show was at the Napa Valley Horseman's Association on June 26, 2010. It was pretty much successful 'cause she didn't spook and she was very good in all the classes. It's pretty unusual because this was the first time she had ever been to a show. Some horses could get scared and freaked out because they might feel claustrophobic with all the horses and people waiting to go into the show ring....she didn't! She was very good because she didn't get scared at all. I figured out that if she had been born in the wild she might not have been as calm and willing. Even though I didn't place very well it's fine because we still had fun and it was a good learning experience. The classes that I entered in were halter classes (where you walk your horse doing different things on the ground, showing your horse) and the lead line (a class where I was the only one in it and my trainer led me just to make sure Blossom didn't get too 'high' and that was actually good because Blossom was starting to get a little nervous so it's good that Tracee was there to help me control her).
My placings were first place in the lead line class; 2nd place in one halter class and 5th place in another halter class. In another post maybe not the next one I'll tell more about the show.
