Glad you liked the photos, Arlene! It was a lot of fun, for sure. Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in the Gold Coast because it is a breed specific show and I don’t have a registered Quarter Horse. Guess I’ll have to “suffer” through specatating again!

Thanks Hazem, maybe one of these days you will see me at a show! I’ll keep working on that goal.
GHM, the show was SO much fun. I’ve never really shown QH so I wasn’t sure how many people I’d know, but I was surprised at how many have crossed over from the App world. It was great to reconnect with a lot of old friends. You should definitely consider coming down for it next year – hopefully we won’t be simulating Icelandic weather next time!
Paint Girl, I LOVE horse shows, especially the big ones with lots of vendors! I am usually not very girly in that I don’t like to shop much, but when it comes to horse stuff the gloves come off! I am glad to hear that the breeding has slowed….there is such a glut of horses on the market right now and it’s really a shame to see good horses go to waste. How are the prices holding up in Arabs? Apps seem to be down a bit, from what I’ve seen.

Sounds like a great time! I love going to horse shows to watch and hang out. It’s alot different then actually showing, much more relaxing!! I just love to look at all the horses, and pick out my favorite!!
You would think that with the economy as many people wouldn’t be showing. But at the farm I work at, they have been taking the same amount of horses to horse shows as usual. No cutting back. Although the farm did cut back on breeding, which is good. Only 8 foals this year compared to 12 last year. The selling part has been a little slow though. Lots of people looking, but not a lot of buying!

The show looks huge and lots of fun. I love my quarter horses and being around lots of them would have been a dream. Sounds like you had a great time. I didn’t really know about this but maybe I’ll see you there next year!

So when can we expect to see you in one of these shows?
