from managing the local APHA show. It was a APHA show and included classes from the local 'curcit' as well as some open stake classes. We had just over 25 horses entered, and managed to do a full slate of APHA classes as well as classes from the local group and still managed to be done by 6pm. We had no complaints from the actuall competitors, other than moving a bit to fast on Saturdays halter classes! But the reiners moved in Sunday afternoon and gave the showground managment a hard time over the footing. The show offered an open (to all breeds) reining class on Sunday afternoon and dispite all the standing around, only one reiner steped up and paid the entry fee to enter. We ended up sending him home with his entry fee back in prize money, and $40 worth of prizes! He was really excited and you could almost hear the "wow maybe we should have entered" grumbles from the croud.
We also had a guy come up and want to know about the Maritime APHA club, truns out hes new to the area and has reining paints, and pleasure paints, but didnt know there was a APHA club in the area!
Anyways things are good on the Apaloosa front, our final big 4 judge show is on the weekend so it should be interesting. There is another show the weekend after and I still dont know if we are going to that or not, Joe Carter is judging and I'd like to show for him, but it depends on the money.
