2007 County Fair...

Wow, it's been forever since I posted, but we have been busy, busy ever since fair. First it was fair and after that it's been preparing for school to start. Anyway, here are some pictures from fair. C and Danny did very well at the shows. They did Showmanship (won 3rd place) and Western Pleasure Horsemanship walk/trot (also won a 3rd place). She was very excited. In total including her projects she won 2 first place ribbons, 4 second place ribbons and 3 third place ribbons.

L had a blast at fair too. She can't wait until her Cloverbud Graduation next month so she can get all the cool ribbons next year too.

They both (we all) had soooooooooo much fun.

Working Hard on 4H Projects

We have been working hard all day on some of the girls projects for fair. (Only 4 weeks away) This is one of the sewing projects C made today.

Paperwork, Paperwork, Paperwork........

Chelsea and Lindsay are all signed up for Fair now. They seem to be doing soooooo much this year. It's all fun though. We had our monthly 4H meeting last night and tied up a lot of loose ends. We decided on our Fair decorations for the barn (they are going to be soooo cool) of course I can't tell what it's going to be (you never know who reads this.....lol) it's TOP SECRET!!!!!!!

Everyone turned in all the paperwork needed to show at fair so the girls are now all set to go. It seemed like quite a bit of confusion but after almost two hours everyone had all their paperwork in and are set to go. We will be starting next week on making the decorations for the barn. We decided on a logo for our clubs fair t-shirts and signed up to get them. They are going to be very cool too. Chelsea (being the treasurer) reminded everyone that hadn't paid for their club dues or project fees to pay them as soon as they could. Well that pretty much sums up the meeting last night. We will be going to a Hunter/Jumper and Dressage education clinic this Wed. evening, should be very fun to watch. I will update on the clinic later in the week.

I forgot to add that I rode Danny the other night after our trainer rode him for a little while. It was awesome. He did great only one small issue, he is a bit barn sour and was wanting to go back to the barn every time we would get close to the gate out. He was very easy to control though even when he was wanting to go back by his buddies. Both the girls and I will be starting our regular lessons with Danny this week.
