Nice *Piaff

*Piaff was happily being ridden around the show grounds. His trainer is more than happy to stop and chat about the virtues of the stallion.... and I would agree; this is a top European halter horse who can do it all.

Fun ride.

Signature Stallion AOTH fillies and colts showed last night. 37 fillies. I almost wished for more hunter classes, in which everything looked big and beautiful and almost the same. A nice family sitting in front of us turned around and asked, "What are we watching". I tried explaining modern day Arabian halter classes and eventually told them to come back and watch performance.

All that color and it can stick its tongue out too.

English ( Pleasure ?)

During an English Pleasure class, the sky grew darker, the rain drops grew heavier, and before anyone knew it, we were all huddled together under various commercial awnings, trying to act like we were genuinely interested in buying a rhinstone encrusted cat sweatshirt or manure spreader just so that we could stay dry.

All The Buzz

He is all the buzz. We heard rumblings about the *Marwan colt ex an Echo daughter this mornings. He did not dissapoint.

SCOTTSDALE 2007
