HI listers, As you know, aside from professional handling, I also Judge all gaited horse shows. This weekend, in West Covina, I am judging my last Tennessee Walking Horse show at the Maverick Ridge Riders Arena for the National Plantation Walking Horse Association. (all details are listed at www.horseshowtime.com >Schedules> NPWHA ALL ENGLISH SHOW ) The show will start at 8:30am Sunday, August 12, 2007 with Halter and Model Class and I will be permitting "double handling" in the handling. After almost 10 years as a horse show judge, it is not time to close that chapter and move on. I have made some great friends, discovered some very new and exciting horses (many of which became world champions) and judged some of the important shows. I like to end, just the way I started--In California, small show. (and I will be giving my oral critiques during about 4 classes). And yes, I will have my customary 3 outfit changes for the day! This will NOT be a somber affaire, it's going to be a party within a party. So if you aren't showing at the Torrance all breeds (yes, I'm showing at the dog show on Saturday and going to the Horse show on Sunday) come on out, Say hi, stop by the arena and lets celebrate! (besides, Alycia Partei can vouch for how much fun I have at the horse shows!!!)
