...Isn't this tortie most probably female?...

Yep, I think the odds of a male torti are pretty slim. I don't know about the odds of orange tabbies being male. All the ones I've ever known of or had have been female.

Oh - well there goes my theory on the orange one then... I haven’t had a chance yet, to see his/her face.

I won 1st in Novice against 10, 1st in Spotted against 2, 4th out of 4th in Western Pleasure. She did perfect down to the very last 2 seconds when I backed her up and did the 360 degree turn. She went 1/2 way around, looked at the judge and locked down! I couldn't get her to move. Finally after what seemed like forever (dead silence and the judge telling me to kick her & where) I turned her the other way and she went, to my surprise! How embarrassing! I should have just bowed out, but we were already lined up at the end and I was just too embarrassed to want to call more attention.
Anyway, she redeemed herself and got 3rd in the Country Saddle Horse, and 2ond in the ladies flatshod. Deb Campbell got 1st on Charlie (speedracking standardbred) and she's pretty much unbeatable, so I was pleased to be 2ond against her at my 2ond show ever. They disqualified Nix on Whitey because in the Country Saddle horse because they said he was a speed racker. Nobody understood that on. No pics, forgot the camera. We spent ALL day at a car show for Hal and slapped some shampoo and water on Daisy and popped her in the trailer. I even forgot my shirts and Hal had to give me his for the western class. It was fun anyway. More people wanting Hal to “name his price” for Daisy. Hal told them I would stroke out.

You know... I forgot, or failed to connect, that the little pregnant kitten who showed up here that died, she was orange.

That kitten is the reason I’m so focused on saving these before that can happen.
