A few Sussex Paint Show pics

I am afraid that my pics are not very good but I am sure that there will be better ones posted soon.

I was so proud of Syl and Kid. Syl was nervous with this being her first time in the ring in many years and Kid's very first debut. She has done a pile of work to get him ready. Less than a month before he was romping and playing in the pasture knowing only how to lead, back up and give his feet. He had not been lunged nor bathed other than a natural rainshower but he has a "want to please" personality and is a quick learner. They were a sharp looking duo.

As they entered the ring the first time Kid got a bit flustered when another horse acted up a bit in front of him. Then Syl lost her hat...it all came together though and they did fine.

Show time


Doing their thing



They did it...does this look like a relieved face???



A little praise for Kid


Is your hat OK??



I also got a chance to meet Mere and her beautiful girls, Zoey and Jorja.

Thanks so much for coming to the show, Kid and I both appreciate the support. In the very first photo it looks like he's watching you out of the corner of his eye to be sure he's allowed to follow me in that big scary ring.
I also love how he's helping me dust the dirt off my hat in one of the other photos.
I cant wait now for another show, I've caught the show bug :EX.gif:

LB - looks like you and Kid had a great first experience!! He sure looks like he wasn't bothered by a thing in all the pictures!!

You and your girls look great Meredith :flower:

Everyone looks super!

Syl you and your boy did fine!!! I am glad you made it and had the nerve to do it! ha, Listen to me! I am a ball of nerves as you seen! ha

Freva it was GREAT to finally meet you. THanks for your COMPLIMENTS on my girls. I was VERY proud of BOTH of them. They were very well behaved and that's all that counts... I made it through the weekend, I am still completely exhausted but it was well worth it.
