The To Do List....

Were do I start this list is so long and everytime I turn around it gets longer ugh. But when you want to better your showstring it's things that need to be done. I love showing in all divisons with makes for a though day since you end up having horses on all tables. Talk about running around like a chicken with you head cut off. Anyways don't worry I'll split up whats on the to do list.


First I'm goin to start with two of my favorite Stone OF's that need to get fixed before they're ready to hit the show table.


Above is my OOAK paloosa from the 2006 stone warehouse sale. As you can see his hoof need to be fixed. Below is the prize model from the All American Quarter Horse Congress were I won champion OF. Again as you see his flaw is he has a ear tip rub so sad cause he's a stunning model. I'm hoping Stone's will fix them so it's off to e-mail stone.


My mom bought me a desert diorama with of course palm trees. What can i say my mom loves palm trees so of course she had to buy it for me. I do love it tho but I don't have any arabian costumes for my models.



One problem the small palm trees don't match the big palm trees so thoes are goin to have to be painted.


Next is to find out which arab looks better my pebbles arab or my SM arab. I thank I'm goin to go with my SM arab I'm also thanking about making my pebbles arab his own set up.



"IMA Hot Stuff" he's Carrot Top showing off as always. I've been wanting to use him in a set up and i've finely decided that I'm goin to use him for coon jumping.


Moving on we have my Carol Herden running heifer painted in an amaing hereford with a moving tag in her ear. With her I just need to perfect her set up and I'm planing to come up with a couple other set ups for her as well.



Now moving on to the newest animal prop I have is my Carol Herden sheep. I need a sheep dog then my set up for my sheep witll be complete.


Stormy is getting a native American set. He may also be getting a few other things as well you'll all just have to wait and see ;)


My baby boy Amarillo is goin to be part of a parade set. I can't wait to start woring on it!!


Next is my mule and hobo set up that need a lot of work the coon dog and mule need to be repaited, the hobo's paint need to be stripped, and the mule needs a new bridle. I can't wait to fix this set and start showing it. 




This is only the start of the list there are models that need a new coat of paint, models that need repairs, little things like a new saddle pad for my jumping fjord. The list is endless but I'm ready to dive in to it!!!

Show For The Cure...

I decided to split my last post up and give everybody there own post so next I'm goin to talk about Show For The Cure. I've been goin to SFTC since it first started, it was the second show I ever been to and it was the first show any of my horses NAN'd at. I wish I had pictures on the laptop to show you the first show. Anyways I've been a judge the last 3 years and next year I plan to just show. It's a pretty tough show with big name showers like Tiffany Purdy (I love her horses) and D'Arry Jone Fank (love her horses too) and the list goes on. Let's just say next year I'm bringing my A game. Well more like I'm goin to try my hardest to take home some NAN cards from the show maybe win a divison or two who know maybe even take the show. But thats a year away now for some yummy pictures. Saddly I didn't get to take as mean since I was judging and most are from performance and some of my pretty babys.











Here's my stormy I just got isn't he amazing i'm so in love with this bad boy. I would love to tell you the painter who painted him but I can never remember names. This is from the fun class anything pink I put a pink braclet around his neck and put a card in front of him that said Though enough to wear pink.


I would of loved to take this beautiful boy home with me.

This is a bad picture but this bad boy was breath taking in person.










Now this is a class I hadn't planned on showing in. I was sitting at my table waiting on the next class to be judge to finish loading when I thought about what stormy would look like with a rider on his back. As you can see he doesn't look to bad. Mom asked if I was goin to show him in a class and I said why not what did I have to lose. He ended up taking fourth in a big class behind a Purdy entry and Two D'arry entrys. I would say not bad at all.










Now Harness the last class of the day and a little to much for me. Yes I had two entrys and since I was judging I just threw them together no big deal to me. But one shower made this class more of a big deal then it needed to be. It makes me not want to show Harness anymore but then again it makes me want to make my Harness entry ten times better so thats goin to the top of the list of things that need to be done.


D'arry I really love this guy!!!


My Harness entrys



Ok not to bad of a day nobody NAN'd but you win some and you lose some. Just means I'm ready to take on the next show.
