Good! I'm back at work for a few minutes so I thought I'd go ahead and post the stills I took at the show too. Nothing spectacular, just pretty horses I saw...

I thought this guy was the most gorgeous palomino color I've ever seen...

This one was gorgeous too and when they let his tail down it drug the ground at least a foot...

Miscellaneous flag horses...

Oh, for the Texas gals, this was the Texas flag bearing "horse". Think they're tryin' to tell ya something? ;o) Check out the stripes on his/her knees...

Here's the costume class in order of placement...

The mule again! This group was doing "The First Christmas" thing. They had Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus, an angel, 3 shepherds and a sheep and 3 wise men bearing gifts. It was so funny, but cute. They won the class...

Queen Elizabeth I presume?...

A confederate soldier and his family...

I thought this girl should've won. Her armor was really cool and her little horse was gorgeous...

The costumes are really neat:)

Did you notice the feet on the palamino??? They look about 6 inches long. What's the point of that? I'm assuming that is the way they want them and not that he is over due:). What breed is he?

Oh, I forgot one. This is the same little dapple gray horse. She was a flag horse too. I know y'all don't know that I love gray horses, but I think she's just gorgeous. The girls posture in the picture is awful, but I think she was just relaxing between classes. You can see the armor she's fixing to put on for the costume class...

Those are great pictures of pretty horses... that is a pretty palomino.... and if I might add, that is a gorgeous buckskin mule. I have a thing for mules... be they coarse or fine, and he's just very pretty.

I agree with you on the girl in the armor! Wow, what a costume. I did that once. My horse was a fire engine, and I was the fireman. We put a red blanket on under his saddle, and made a ladder out of sticks and tied it to both sides of the saddle, and a length of hose was tied to one of the D rings on my saddle. We pinned a dalmatian stuffed animal to the back of the blanket. We had a red halter/bridle, and through the crown piece we threaded a water bottle filled with tinfoil to make a "siren."

Those gaited horses are gorgeous and I loved the video! Man, those horses were movin' out!
