I left Rhode Island Friday morning and hauled up to Kennebunk, Maine to spend the night with my friend Brenda.
We went to the Maine Event Horse show held at the Horse Park in Hollis, Maine about a half hour from her home.
Brenda showed him in the in hand classes.
He was the ONLY entry in English horse in hand No clue as to why as there were alot of the English breeds at this show.
There were six in the Standardbred in Hand Class and Duncan won that one!!! Loved the nasty looks on one person's face for sure as she could only manage a 6th our of 6.
In the Championship class NO clue what they did but he pinned behind 2 of the STBs he had won over and they are BOTH not sound. Blows my mind when unsound horses pin over sound ones and yes he is very very sound now.
Anyway we had a nice show and my friend got on him. For 3 years I have been trying to get Brenda to ride him, but she has always said he is too big. Sat she looked at me and Said," I am going to ride Duncan." I was so happy and there were lots of pictures taken by a good friend of hers who was there showing her beautiful grey STB mare in the 3 gait classes and OH YES they won them ALL!!!! Made me feel pretty good.
The President of the SPHO Mass club came up and spent the day and early evening with us and it was a very very enjoyable time for all.
I stayed in Kennebunk on Saturday night and was on the road by 5:45am Sunday to haul back to RI almost into Conn to run Barrels.
We won our division and Duncan is OFFICIALLY the Senior 1D Champion in RI for 2010 meaning he has qualified for the FIFTH time to go to the Worlds in 2011.
Oct 10th is the stand alone State Championship runs, buckles and money are on the line in this one and I want another Championship buckle and then we'll buy the Worlds Qualifier buckle in the spring along with the blanket concho to match.
I hope anyone reading this blog had as good a weekend as we did.
Duncan was very very happy to get himself home and back to Jupiter his buddy.
I just received a PM from one of the women who was at the show, she was not happy with me as she read my previous post.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned NO names, NO horse's Names.
So, my question to her PUBLICLY must be What is YOUR problem guilty thoughts maybe??
NO clue what her issue is as I mentioned NO ONE at all.
Besides those thoughts about soundness were NOT just mine there were others there that felt the exact same way. So, she has told me she won't e mail me again NO biggie as she doesn't usually anyway. She has never been a friend of mine. She is someone I know that is all. JMO
