Anyone going?
And who does the western pleasure/western inhand thing?
Could I have some tips/advice on stuff like that?
How do the patterns typically go?
I've never done western in-hand, just english. :x

I didn't end up going. I was doing the pre-check after I got the horse loaded. HUGE gaping hole in tire. SO unloaded him, and put him back in field. Dad is coming out to change the tire for me.

That is ok...I needed to clean my house anyway. My master bathroom is spotless not just working on Mt. Laundry.

i went!!! i didnt do green horse with my 3yr old, didnt even take her... but i took my "barrel" horse, and i rode my friends horse untill she got there, so i could keep her points up.I didnt have time to watch the english or western, but i did hear some names that i knew. I was running around helping some friends of mine, and talking with some others.And this time i wasnt close to coming off :yahoo: my horse was actually turning really well.

Yep, we got that trot down, she knows better than to ever pull that stunt again. But now I'm at a cross road; tail or showmanship. I cut about three and a half inches off because we had to back eight steps, and she wont back straight when she steps on her tail.

what happend in the lunch break?

It wasn't so much that anything "happened" as the way show management went about it. They start announcing placings of a class, the class before me starts to file in, and all of a sudden we are on a 30 min lunch break. That was the only announcement for a lunch break. The water truck comes in, does its thing, and they announce for the next class, no 5 min call or anything. All in all the lunch break was about 20 min. long. Maybe that's normal for ring 1?

I do not know how to advise you. I would say you did the right thing for a straight back is extremely important and no horse wants to cause themselves pain by stepping own their own tail, OUCH! But... you know I have tail issues, love those long flowing locks! What are the guidelines in your breed show rule book especially concerning showmanship and/or other pattern classes which may call for a back. If you find no mention in your rule book for help why not contact one of your active breed show members for advice.

I wont do breed show showmanship, so I don't need to worry about that. I'd have to look into lower level class A shows, in the higher levels, I'm yet to see a back, and some of those Arabs have a train of a tail! The only mention I have seen for tails is no fakes. But that is my winter project- find all those darn rules.
