My Kinda Guy
Last weekend Guy and I went to our first show. On Friday I went to the barn to get ready and put wraps on Guy, which I’d never done before. The wraps were Mom’s from when she had Pickles and Mom even made the pillow wraps. They turned out really good and the color (maroon) looked really good on Guy. Guy was great loading into the trailer, he got in no problem. One of the other horses took a while though. Once we got there we put the horses in thier stalls and organized the tack room, then schooled. The main ring riders went first, and then it started raining so we had to wait a while to school. When I was warming up Guy was pretty nervous. Once he started cantering when a car drove buy (the warm-up ring was pretty close to the road), and then later he spooked and I fell off. I got back on and then he threw his head up and hit me in the jaw. After that we were fine. We tried to braid Guy but his bald spot was too big to do anything with. The next day we actually showed. And the show name I chose (My Kinda Guy) sounded really good beind announced. Guy was awesome, we had no refusals showing, and he never spooked, even when a horse tried to pass us on the outside way to close for comfort. After we were done I went to cool off Guy and he spooked. I fell off. The girl that grabbed Guy must have though I was crazy because after I took him I started cracking up and couldn’t stop for a while. After that I hosed him off and went to watch the main ring riders. I had a very yummy lunch of walking tacos too. The next day showing Guy was just as good. No refusals, he didn’t spook, and I didn’t fall off.
