Awful show.
I got there in great time, had banner ready, go in first for a condition class, win that, judge says he is a really lovely "pony" so i think great, he likes him. I walk out, and turn my head for two seconds and boom - two more classes have been done and the gates shut on my "stallion" class. AFTER the gate was closed, they asked if anyone else was in it and i was like yes...and i've been standing here the whole time waiting to hear the class called!?!?!?!?!
So i was accepted in late, but the judge didn't even look at Banner, and didn't place him. The winner was a man who went on to win everything (but i beat him last show, and would have this time if i was not late) so i felt very annoyed at that, and that noone else said this was my class knowing it was.
Anyway, took banner back to the trailer, and pulled thriller off, quick, cause i knew they were really flying through the classes. By the time i got his halter on, i was being waved over and i literally ran the 20 paces to the ring. Get in and huffed around, and pulled in first. Judge just said " you really need to get to the ring faster and i wouldn't want to see that pony with any more weight" he was then pulled in 3rd in a solid colour class.
So all in all, a sour day for me. I just felt so rushed and did not enjoy any of it. There was 10 classes each with up to 6 horses or more, and three championships. All over in an hour and 10mins. I don't even have any photos that i want to post!
To top it all off i had glass in my hand and was in pain the entire time but had no time to treat myself.
