Caledonia Fair!

Whoo Hoo!  I haven’t gone to a show in quite a while and the Caledonia Fair is the best!  Very low key, great people, fun atmosphere and perfect spot to take a green horse to their first show.

 I only entered in 4 classes, 2 halter, 2 under saddle.  I wasn’t sure how Cotton would behave away from the barn and her buddy so I didn’t want to stress her out.  Our first class out, Conformation and boy did she strut her stuff.  Thankfully the class is judged mostly on the horse’s conformation and now their brain.  Head up, tail high and every step was that of a young green horse.  Just the same we came in 1st place!  Took me totally by surprise! 

Anyone who wants to show but doesn’t like all the usually hype that goes with it would love to do this one in the future. Breeches, tall boots and a polo shirt was all I wore and it was good enough.  I didn’t feel I was judged any differently because of my attire and I wasn’t the only one dressing for the weather and not for the show.   So next year end of July early Aug make plans on attending the fair!
