I realized that I had never taken the time to talk about our gelding and how the show went. He was named the reserve champion Junior Western Pleasure horse. We were thrilled. He did a great job and looked outstanding.
Our gelding that we sold last year participated in the dressage show and won both of his classes as well. His owner adores him. That means a lot to us to know that we placed him in a forever home.
Next up on the horse schedule is weaning. Lilly will be separated from her momma this afternoon. It is my least favorite part of the breeding business, with a lot of screaming and babies throwing themselves around in the stall. They survive though, if you fight the temptation to just let them back together because you hate to see them so upset.
From there, Lilly will be traveling to the halter trainer later this week. We need to see if she is fancy enough to head for the Morgan Breeders Sweepstakes in Illinois over Labor Day weekend. Time will tell.
