College Royal is on the horizon and I'm getting pretty excited. I had to be an "experienced" person this year because I won for novice horse showmanship last year. Basically that means I had to train two girls on how to do showmanship and train the horse. It's a pretty tall order for only two weeks of practice. I actually got lucky this year, during one practice a girl who had done showmanship for years was overseeing our practice. Afterward she gave me a lesson and then said she would come help out whenever I wanted! I was so happy. So I had another lesson with her on Monday and I have my last one scheduled for Thursday.
I also have entered the college royal photography contest. The 6 categories and my submissions were:
College Royal through your eyes.
So that's about it for now, we've finally had an off week from foal watch. We had three foals in at one time, I thought I was going to go nuts. Thankfully I think 6 out of the 7 foals we've had in this year have gone home healthy and rehabilitated! it's such a great feeling.
