Warmbloods |

Arabians |
We were beginning to take a photo of every class, unfortunately it would have taken up way too much film since we wanted to get pix of my placings as well. I wish we could have though, it would have been interesting! If anyone else who was there has photos, I would love to see! I really wish we had taken pix of the Quarter Horse class in particular, it was HUGE!!!
Placings were awarded up to 10th, rosettes were received up to & including 6th. This was a North American Model Horse Show Association (NAMHSA) member show, so models with 1st & 2nd placings qualify to go to the North American Nationals (NAN)!
My models won 16 various placings between 10th & 7th. Here is a breakdown of the rest:
6th - 5 |
5th - 5 |
4th - 4 |
2nd - 2 |
1st - 7 |
Reserve Champion - 2 |
Grand Champion - 2 |
