He was trying to get the grass out of his pocket to entice his pony

Making sure his feet are in the right position

Perfect stance

It's great having a partner you can lean on

  The 8 and under age group was called to the practice ring and this little guy just caught my heart.  He was a "cowboy" through and through.  The love and trust they had for each other was evident in both.  This is a series of photos from the practice ring and then to their event.



This little guy didn't want to walk so his handler just picked hime up a put him
 where he was suppose to be!



Looks like Colonel Sanders is the the hair business now!

He was bigger than some of the horses!!!

    I spent most of the afternoon at the Event Center watching the horses and the different events.  I learned a lot from talking with the owners, handlers and kids, I am so glad I went.  They have two categories, the over which are 34"-38" and the unders which are under 34".  One of the Mom's I was talking with said they had 50 minis!  There was the halter class and performance (pulling the carts), I missed the obstacle and jumpers which was on Friday night!  It is such a family atmosphere and a lot more laid back than the show I went to a couple weeks ago.  All ages of competitors were there and lots of families that were competing with each other rather than againest each other.

Arabian Horse Show

It takes a team to get them looking beautiful!

He gave me quite the smile!



The prize they were all chasing!

  I went over to the Lancaster Event Center this morning after seeing in the paper they were having the Arabian Horse Show this weekend.  There were several different events, all ages, men and women, boys and girls.  Beautiful, gorgeous animals and riders.
