2016
International Pleasure & Colt Grand Championship
Day 6 - THURSDAY
So far the International has had 1,339 entries appear in the 157 classes. Woke up late, sleeping in after a long
day and night to a slow steady rain with no classes in the morning so just lazed around thinking of the excellent
horses that had showed so far. Looking forward to seeing many
more tonight.
Day 7 - FRIDAY
WHOA hosted a “ Meet and Greet” where any one could come ride a TWH. While
light in numbers this year, the ones riding were having a blast. The Kona Ice truck pulled
in center ring and gave free cups of Kona Ice to any and all! Manna Pro provided this
delicious treat along with handing out free equine fly products, leather wipes, and ointments. Thank you Manna Pro and the Jason Bachert family!
Three fourths of the way thru the evening show, during a horrendous storm, with a
ring full of horses (that were thankfully in the line up) the lights went out in Georgia
AND the Miller. This is the second time
for me to be in the center ring of the Miller
when the lights went out but this time the
generator kicked in and they started to
slowly come back on within moments so
there was not a long delay.
One of the high lights of the evening
show was when Miss Minnie Mac strutted her stuff in the All Day Pleasure Novice Horse Novice Rider
Championship to win the floral horse shoe! A well deserved win
for Jodi and Gary Bubar. Both were thrilled to death as was the
center ring staff and audience.
