I LOVE My Filly!

I just had to put up a rave about my little girl Tru! This weekend we went to our first show together! There were a LOT of firsts for us and I think we both came through it great. This was only her third time traveling in the trailer (and the last time she bonked her head and had to get 14 stitches) this time she trailered like a pro, loaded right up and off easily. When we got to the show grounds she wanted to check out everything and the neighing began hehe. She would call to anyone who would listen or answer back.

She didn't spook at a single thing that weekend she was very cool with all the different horses, and gear, the sounds of the highway right by the outdoor ring (we certainly don't have that living 1km down a dirt road back home), she didn't worry about the announcer, or the clapping, wasn't even scared of the plexiglass surround in the indoor (she tried to eat it a few times). She was amazing!

This was also her first time being stalled and she did great and was actually CLEAN in her stall! She would only pee and poop in the same spot :D

We might not have won every class but Bleeding heart she was awesome, aside from getting bored of standing still in some of our long classes (there were 18 of us in the Open Halter mares!!). But all in all she was very well behaved and did what I asked. Oh and she earned her first APHA point! How exciting! And considering I'd never shown in classes anything like this before we did pretty darn good for wining it!

Kid is very proud of his little sister, lol It was a great weekend and Tru looked like she's done all this before. Super for a yearlling (other than her whinnies.... boy are they high pitched and LOUD !!!, funny thing is I can recognize Kid, Simmi or Tru when they whinny as opposed to any of the others at the show grounds. The 3 siblings even whinny similar. Family accent or something.
See ya at the next show :)

Sounds like an awesome show! Congratulations, she looks awesome!

Congrats!! You both look fabulous!!!

Oh MB she looks so great. What a tank of a yearling. My baby has a high pitched whinny. Drives me batty sometimes. Hahaha

I think it's wonderful that she did so well. You must be super PROUD to know you turned her into what she is with hard work, dedication and countless hours of patience! Kudos Girl! You deserve this time to RAVE!

:congratulation

WELL DONE! It's great to hear that her first show was such a positive experience. She certainly is an inquisitive little girl. I'm not surprized that she took everything in stride though - you've worked long and hard to bring her to where she is. CLEARLY she trusts you!

WTG! No surprise that she was a trooper. She's gorgeous :)

Tru is awesome...you have done so much with her from minute one and it shows in the connection you have with her. So glad that her first show experience was a good one for you both!!!!
