Princess goes to a show!

I took Princess to a horse show today at Albany horse expo center. She was not fazed very much by the big arena. She was a little nervous of all the people walking around her, but soon settled right in. She was yawning while we were waiting for our class to start. I took her in halter class. There were a lot of mares in our class and we didn’t expect to place against the Quarter horses and Paints. The horse in the picture with Princess won the class. Notice how Princess has bigger legs than that mare! That mare was twice as big as Princess.
Then we went in walk/trot novice horse. There were 22 horses in that class. WOW! (I am pictured two to the right of the grey horse in the picture). She did great. A little nervous of the crowd in the stands, but was just a trooper. Today was Princess' 10th ride!!!

Princesses Bio

I am a five year old mustang mare from the Beattys Butte Heard Management area. I was rounded up from the wild in the fall of 2007. I spent a year in the corrals in Burns waiting to be adopted. Finally I was chosen for the Extreme Mustang Makeover to be held in Albany, Oregon on March 21st. I can be adopted by anyone who qualifies by the BLM to be an adoptee. I am 14 hands tall. I love people and love to go trail riding. I like long walks on the beach and grazing on pasture. I am gentle and easy to ride. I am not afraid of anything. My full name is Sapheara Warrior Princess. If you would like to meet me you can see me at the Expo.
