I’m sorry that I don’t recall that particular vendor, Ann. If I can think of it, I will certainly contact you with the information.

I was at the Gold Coast and I’m now trying to get in touch with one of the Vendors that was there and do not know the name of it. Hoping that you can help me or either get me in touch with someone that was running the show so that they can help me. The Vendor was located in the line of those that I believe in your picture. They were locatetd down the street. The first one was a Monogram shop. It would have been on the left side as you walk down. The one I’m trying to get in touch with was on the right side and she had cow hides for sale. Thanks so much!! Ann

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?
