wow, been awhile..

OK, I havn't updated this in forever, so here goes :)
Right after I got home Sunny and I had the 4-H horse show, so we did that...
He was pretty good considering how little he had been worked with in the past several weeks! OK, so halter was a bit of a disaster. We went in and he did well for most of the time, including when the judge was looking at him for the first time. She asked me how old he was (since he could be more filled out I guess, but he still has several years for that) and if he was a curly! I was just like, "great, a judge I don't have to explain the breed to!" Then when she was coming back up the row, he managed to get the itchies under his halter and was fighting me because I was trying my best not to let him rub his head all over me like he wanted. So, we got second to last in that class!
Then we had western favorite gait. He was GREAT in that class. Until... we were foxtrotting, and it was right in front of the judge, and he stopped to go to the bathroom! I have been trying to work with him on this, but he simply refuses to keep moving. AAACK. Before the judge went back with the results she said, "you would have had the trophy if he hadn't broken gait. I was really disappointed" I thanked her but was thinking, "not as disappointed as I am", lol. So he ALMOST had his first trophy. I am still thinking through the whole showing thing, so I don't know if he's going to have another chance or not.
And then we had fourth in trail. So really, I am very proud of him since he had about 3 weeks without being ridden at all and then about 2 rides before the show.
I guess I will write more later.
