Should I do the fair show?

[spellbound]

I hadn't really even considered it but people keep asking me if I am riding in it.
So tell me forumites, is there a good reason why I should?

Your horse might get a thrill out of the ferris wheel looming over the ring...not to mention the duck and pig races

And that is a good reason Not to take him.

I can't decide if I will or not. I will have just gotten back from a weeks vacation in Vegas. My horse will be like you expect me to work again...hmrph

i only have reasons not to go.....its a FAIR show....ARHHHH

It always seems so crazy and nutty. Not to mention the stupid people who have no concept of horses and that they scare and could kill you.

 

[spellbound]

I am with ya. Nothing but reasons not to go.

I've noticed that the fence around the fairgrounds showring has been taken down. I overhead someone saying that it's going to be replaced with something other than wood rails - some sort of wire mesh or chain link, maybe.
That would just be LOVELY!

But AMIT holds a prefair show which is at the fairgrounds, but its before all the pigs and sheep and people arrive =D so you could think about doing that...

[devinej]

MW makes me too!

Paso, i'd be up for the pre fair show, going anyway

 

[fredsaid2]

No, cause it wouldn't be fair.

 

[HeavyChevy75]

I just picked up the Pre-fair class list. I will do that show before all the horse-eating animals/fair-rides/baby carriages/stupid people are there.

I can hear it now at the fair show.

Little kid: Can I pet your horsey?

Me; Sure..

Child pets my horse while holding a ice cream cone. Sticky ice cream fingers all over my horse's face, and he ends up eating the cone.

Little kid crying because my mean horsie at his/her cone, and me cleaning ice cream off my horses face.

Um..No...

i like the fair show, well cause i do the 4h, so no money is lost, only gained. I think it is good exposure for the horses, and its not as crounded as state fair. Its horrible up there (state) when you have a horse that wont stand, all the spectators walking behind you dont even notice, makes me freak. St.Marys isnt as bad, but i dont like the live stock so close, and that its a grass ring (well for the speed events i just lope...). For the open classes at the fair do you have to pay?

I think you do have to pay for the open show. I will be volunteering that day at the show. I already told a couple of the people running it that I will help out.
