I went to the Ohio/PA Appaloosa Assoc. futurity show with my friend Judy and her husband, this weekend. She had her weanling filly nominated, but unfortunately, the trainer didnt get to show her. He had only had her for two weeks and this was her first show. She was acting up really badly and they thought best not to take her in. She would have won hands down and I felt awful for them.
Here is Judy's two year old stallion Heza Sizzlin Dream. He won his class, the color futurity and was Reserve stallion under two judges and Grand under one (4 judges)
This weanling beat him in the Open Color Class. The weanling, also won the colt weanling futurity.
Grand and Reserve Champion mares and yes, those are Appaloosas!
It had been some time since I had attended a bigger show and saw the halter classes. I sure dont get the chain under the top lip deal. To me, that makes them act up all the more. How attractive is it, to have a horses tongue hanging out!
Oh, he is a gorgeous stallion.
Isn’t that chain under the lip awful? Why do they do that? It appears to be a way to control the horse - it is painful and maybe acts like a twitch but I sure don’t understand it.
