This weeekend was the 2nd of two Paint shows each year in Temecula. It's the only big Paint show near me. I haven't shown there since June 09 when Bandit first got hurt. This weekend it was 95 degrees and super humid. We camped out in my trainer's trailer for the weekend. Our best showing was 4th place and we had some no calls. This show has alot of really experienced riders so I don't feel too bad. It's the first time we tried horsemanship at this show. Bandit was really good and loped off nice. They had a great trail pattern. It was roomy and flowed really well. Again Bandit loped off soft and nice. I misjudged the final lope over and Bandit was off stride but we did well up to that point. We've had so many problems with this in the past. It's amazing to have completed patterns without any major problems. It makes the show alot more fun. Here's how we did with two judges:
Showmanship Novice 5 and 6 of 9
Showmanship Amateur 6 of 7 of 9
Trail Novice 4 and 6 of 9
Trail Senior no call of 14
Western Pleasure Novice no call of 12
Western Pleasure Amateur 6 and 6 of 7
Western Horsemanship Novice 7 and 7 of 8
The next show is a Pinto show at the end of the month. I'm sure we'll do better at that one.
Congratulations on your placings! With each show you'll get more practice and hopefully have a perfect trail class at the Pinto show. :)
