So I and my wife went to the local horse show in Sibley Ia today.
Took a 9 year old and a 7 year old and showed in a Ranch horse pleasure class. Got the local vet's daughter to ride one and I rode the other. Had a tough class of 8 with 2 judges. Placed 5 th with one judge and not with the other. Some of it was my fault, I didn't hear the announcer well and missed the hand gallop till I saw everybody pulling away, and had to catch up. I have never showed much and can't blame the mules for that.
Overall the mules showed well, considering they had'nt been showed for 7 years.
I didn't expect to win, just go and have some fun and show them off.
a feller started in on me that this was a 1/4 horse show and I told him I had a 1/2 horse and he could go pound sand. We both had a good laugh and all was ok.
Over all we had fun. I guess save some money and get ready to go again.
All the best ,
Ray
