We had another great day at a Color Breed Show
here in Connecticut.
What a gorgeous horse… can I take him home, please?
I just love the people and horses that turn out at these shows…Down to earth, and they’re having FUN.
The way it should be.
It was hot as h*ll though.. I give everyone credit for riding out that heat.
Attire requirements were relaxed to give riders relief… no show jackets or heavy blouses
required, or chaps.
K & Beemer
E. and Apache
Beemer is a registered paint who doesn’t have as much “flash” as other paints.
He has too much white to be registered as a quarter horse too.
So at these color breed and paint shows he relies on good conformation
good performance, and good attitude.
Reviewing the trail pattern with fearless leader Heidi
Apache has great conformation and color.. placing 1st in halter.
K and Beemer did a trail class for the first time…
these pictures make it look like a flawless run.
NOT!
But hey, it’s the effort that counts 🙂
With the very next step on the bridge… Beemer said..
“Um… no I don’t think so”
K and Beemer were troopers though, and got through the course.
Loved the work on this tail….
Apache… a very handsome appaloosa
At the end of the day, there were big smiles, blue skies and blue ribbons to appreciate.
A very good day indeed.
Kudos to everyone for tolerating the heat. I stopped by a small local show yesterday and everyone was having such a good time. I've taken a few trail classes recently and it really is fun. Pretty blue ribbons!!
Great pictures, Karen! I love them all. My favorite is the "double butt" picture (horse and owner) of the braided tail. Great shot- magazine worthy- xo Diana
Great pictures karen! ! What great looking animals! Have a great monday
K looks awesome on Beemer, and yes I'd say she's quite the trooper. Look at all those ribbons and that big smile. She's so pretty!
Wonderful photo's. beautiful horses. I'd love to go to a show like that. I think Hunter's grandmother does with her horse Monk.
Have a great day! 🙂
Hey! That first one looks like my Daisy!!! LOL!
Nice images folks in spite of the heat we were getting over this weekend, I'm just so glad that the heat wave has somewhat broken starting today in the Lancaster,Pa area. Richard
GORGEOUS PICS!!! Love them all especially the first one!
Such beautiful animals!!
Karen,
The pictures look great and nobody looks that hot(weather).
Your comment on "Tail" shot makes me laugh…"Love the work on this tail"….I agree,….not bad!…..very funny!
I'd give everyone a blue ribbon for being able to survive the heat! Ugh.
Wonderful shots of both the beautiful horses and your lovely daughter!
Horses can be so hard to photograph and you made them all look great!
I used to show in trail classes "back in the day" … it was my absolute favorite class!
