Good Afternoon, I'm turning to the list for some totally off-topic help. This weekend I'll be taking two 9-yr-old girls to see the Quarter Horse Performance Events at the National Western Stock Show. Both are Junior Girl Scouts, both will be attending to fulfill one of the requirements for a Badge, and both are enthusiastic about horses but do not have much experience with them. I'm trying to find out if there things we should know in advance so that we will understand better what's going on. I've seen some listers talk about their involvement in horses ... if any would be willing to drop me a line, that would be much appreciated! Cheers, Leslie, who is certainly NOT bringing the GSD to the Stock Show grounds!! -- Leslie M.
