Grandkids enjoy first horse show trophies of 2011
The first “Miniatures In Motion” horse show was held this July at Escanaba, Michigan and our grandchildren, Dawson and Josephine Navarre, had a great time. Josephine showed in the costume class and in lead-line and was awarded trophies for her work. Dawson came to the show determined to take home a trophy and was not disappointed. He also won a ribbon in the costume class and really impressed the judges in his ability to show in the jumping and hunter jumping classes – it was his first time showing in a jumping classes. But he had still to win a trophy, so he begged to enter a driving class – something he had not even prepared for. After a short training drive outside the arena he entered his first driving class and took home his first place trophy.
Here’s some videos showing their fun at the show.
Mandy’s Accomplishments in 2010
This year Mandalay took on one more new class.
She started competing in Roadster and managed to garner both 1st places in the Amateur Roadster and Amateur Roadster Stakes classes at her first show. Mandalay finished the year off with a flourish. She placed in the top ten of four classes at the AMHR National Show, Pleasure Driving under 34” for Golden Age, Amateur Halter Obstacle, and Golden Age Jumper all with Sandy, and Open Halter Obstacle with Cassandra. She ended another year of All Star points with 2nd in Golden Age Jumper.
Mandalay’s 2009 accomplishments
In 2009 we only attended 3 AMHR shows but Mandy managed to garner ninth place in AMHR All Star Points for Halter Obstacle and first in Golden Age (over 55) Jumper.
We did attend open shows in Wisconsin with clubs that belong to Wisconsin State Horse Council. For these shows we had to compete against minis, ponies, and big horses. Mandy has a big heart and throws everything she has into her performance. At the first show against a big Friesian, she was a bit rattled by the thundering hooves and his rattling equipment but managed to place second in the class at that show. At the end of summer the Horse Council had a Championship Show for those that obtained one first in a class or two second places. At that show, Mandy placed sixth in pony/mini halter, second in pony/mini Reinsmanship, and first (Champion) in pony/mini Driving.
