Horse show

Lisa and I loaded up Dino and Princess to head to the beach Saturday. We heard about a horse show at Green Acre Stables in Lincoln City and new our fellow EMM trainer was going to show her horse Weston there. So we decided to stop in and see how she was doing. The show was pretty small and I thought why not get Princess out and put her in some classes. While I was at it I thought why not put Dino in a couple of classes while I was there. Princess was pretty nervous and didn't settle down for most of her classes. A lot of people really liked her and were very interested in the EMM contest. One lady said she was going to the adoption at Albany because she really wanted to bid on a mustang. Everyone thought Princess was so cute and were impressed with her progress. Dino of course was a big hit and won 2 of his classes and got a 2nd. in the other one. One girl wanted to know if Dino would be up for adoption or if he was for sale. Not a chance!
Jasmine did great with her horse Weston and won high point English.
Tomorrow Princess and Dino will be going to the chiropractor. Dino is quite stiff in the neck and Princess is just going to see if she is aligned alright.

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.
