Roxy

Oh I also got the go ahead from Pony kids mom that shes ok with me showing her horse and I can take her to the local clinic that my new coach is doing closer to home. Im really excited :) We had been talking about this from the time that she was bought that I might do some stuff with her if I was ok. Then the PM got hurt at work and will more than likely be out for the summer following surgery. She is still going to show halter and showmanship but the mare is mine for the rest of the classes. So plans for sure include the local stuff.

Here comes the intresting stuff. I have seen the videos when the horse got bought but they bought her basicly sight unseen from about 2000km away. We knew she had some futurity placings and they had showed her AQHA but that was about it.

So I looked up the futurity that she was in. Its a 50/50 where the only horses elegibale are entered as weanlings into a sale. 1/2 the purchase price goes into the pot the rest goes back to the owner. The money kept by the club goes into a futurity when the horses are 2, with a pleasure, halter, and pattern classes (2 goes each)

Roxy aparently placed 3rd over all. 'Great' your thinking.... Yeah she ended up wining 4500. Now the reason I really looked into it is that for AQHA green western pleasure you cant have won over 1000 in that class.... Now im trying to figure out how much she won in the pleasure but were waiting for the offical report on her from aqha which should clear that up. :)
