We had so much fun showing at the CARS show today!
We had a lot of success today and enjoyed our little bunny grooming family!
❤️ We are so grateful for Kathy and Andrea with High Country Angoras for sharing their amazing rabbits with us and showing us the rope’s on grooming these beasts 🤣
What an exciting day for Angoras in Colorado!
The Colorado Area Rabbit Shows hosted triple Open and Youth shows today in Keenesburg, Colorado.
When we first began showing Angoras, Colorado had a wonderful presence at our local shows, with all four Angora breeds represented at many events. Then RHDV2 and COVID hit, and that presence changed dramatically. A few dedicated French and Satin Angora exhibitors continued to bring their rabbits from time to time, and Kathy and I continued showing our English Angoras, but overall entries were small and seeing multiple Angora breeds together became much less common.
Recently have started to see more angoras and today felt like a turning point. Several beautiful French and Satin Angoras hit the tables, along with our English Angoras. Even more exciting, an English Angora earned either Best in Show or Reserve in Show on every single BIS table, in both Open and Youth!
Scarlett helped Kendall groom her doe, High Country’s Strudel, who earned Youth Best in Show under Dale Mize.
A new youth exhibitor Payton showed her very first Angora, PJ’s Cartier, and earned Reserve in Show under Gordon Williams and another Reserve in Show under Jennifer Shimpf!
In Open, our good friend Holly Tracy made her mark with her beautiful REW doe, PJ’s Snowball. Snowball earned Reserve in Show under Doug King and then Best in Show under Gordon Williams! Major high five to Holly! ❤️
Kathy and I also earned Reserve in Show with our lovely High Country’s Linzer under Jeremy Collins.
It was wonderful to see so many Angoras back on the tables and watch brand new exhibitors enjoy such a successful day. Congratulations to everyone! The future of Angoras in Colorado is looking bright!
