Mac was an absolute angel as always and did very well during our long reining classes for a first timer.
Valiant on the other hand... The judge loved the conformation and movement of him, as much as he could see, lol. He tried to impersonate a wild brumby stallion mixed with a kite. That boy was flying in the air 😂 Overall though, for a 9-month baby with minimal handling and first time on a float and being off property, he was good (he travelled beautifully and self loaded onto the float).
A huge thank you to Courtney Whittaker for adding the heavy horse feature and to all the sponsors of the show including Abbey Park Shires, Drayhorse Shires, Allure Pest Control and Ranchers Country (sorry if I missed anyone).
Also, a big thank you to the judge for taking the time to teach me the ins and outs and giving tips on what to do in the future 🙌 Also to Julie Norman for helping to keep the classes running.
Excited for next year and hopefully this is something that can continue to grow.
