Sidney Horse Extravaganza

August 10th, 2009 · No Comments

I’m checking in to pen a few lines. My Owner(MO) has been very busy this summer, and she has kept me busy, too. MO is soon coming to live with me, and I can hardly wait. It’s been pretty lonesome this summer without Can Can.

I competed at the NEMQHA Horseshow in Sidney on July 25 and 26th. I won 3 first place ribbons in Novice Showmanship, Novice Western Pleasure, and Novice Trail. Those judges know quality when they see it! (I was only naughty once).

At the show, a very nice lady by the name of Waynette Molloy asked MO to bring me to the Sidney Horse Extravaganza on August 5th, which is part of the County Fair in Sidney, MT. She thought I was so beautiful, that I should have a chance to be admired by more people.

When it was my turn to perform, MO and I ran into the arena together, just like I have always dreamed of doing! There was a good sized crowd, somewhere between 50 - 100 people in the grandstands watching ME!

MO planned to longe me in circles and ask me to rear. I was so enthused, that I didn’t longe well. I could tell MO was not pleased with my behaviour. I did rear very gloriously on command. The crowd gasped at how beautiful I was as I pawed the air, and broke into immediate applause.

I was completely thrilled with performing and did not want to load into the horse trailer to go home.

The Sidney Horse Extravaganza was awesome. MO agreed that in addition to my performance, there were some other very interesting, high quality horse exhibitions, including a jumping exhibition, side saddle riding, chuck wagon, a bareback reining/dressage performance, drill teams, and others.

Hope your summer is going great. I will have more stories to tell soon.
