WCCS – 2009
Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Hello there,
I know it’s been ages since I posted here but I have been really lazy lately. But unlike the usual, I have some exciting news for you!
Ole and I went to the West Coast Connemara Show this year. We didn’t go last year because we did not really have a truck and trailer to haul the lady up in Sacramento, plus it wasn’t the WCCS but the Mountain and Moorland Show.
Anyway, this year, I decided that we were going and so we went! Ole got into the trailer ok and she was a champ on the show ground: settling really well, not anxious at all, eating, drinking, sleeping in her comfy stall. Per-fect.
I had entered her in the 3 and under fillies class. It was one of the first class and it took about 10 mins. We finished 3rd over 4. And here are a couple of pictures :
So then, she was entered in the produce of dam. There was only Ole’s dam produces in that class so we won. You can see her with Redbud’s Cracker Jack (Glenormiston Billies Bay) and Redbud’s Celtic Tiger (Wildwych Eclipse)
And finally she was inspected. It went well and she passed the inspection with fairly good marks.
I don’t know if I’ll go to the next WCCS, it seems to me that it’s not worth the money. We might go to the Mountain and Moorland Show instead as it is judged by foreign judges and it could give me another point of view about Ole. But first, she is still in her pasture for one year, then I need to get her broke, and then maybe a baby? We’ll see… But I have at least 2 ponies on my short list (1 americans and 1 french) depending on my visa’s issues. But guess who? ;)
