Ooooo....I love writing about all the craziness that goes on in my life! So here's the latest...

Tomorrow is my very VERY first horseshow EVER! 21 years old...been riding since I was 10 and I've never been to a horseshow...sad huh? So I have finally decided to go to a show and actually COMPETE! Jasmine has never been to a show either....well, never competed in one...she and I have been to a few together, just walking around the grounds...but never in the ring.

So that past week, I've been getting her ready riding-wise...and the past few days, I've been getting her ready looks-wise. She and I will be entering the Walk/Trot schooling western pleasure...and the Walk/Trot Western pleasure ages 14+....beyond that, I'll decide when I see how good she's being .

I spent about 2 hours today putting the finishing touches on her grooming....she got her face clipped, her bridlepath clipped, her ears clipped (they are SO smooth, it's like a baby's bottom), her coronet band clipped, and one last washing of her tail to get it as white as humanly possible (gotta love palominos )....and hoof polish...she looks so fancy...like a regular show horse!

Here are a few pics from when I left her tonight (I've just gotta show off a little bit...at least my killer good job of ear clipping)...

Her tail before...3 days ago...YIKES!


Her tail after...today when I pulled it down from the braid...I washed it after this pic was taken...so it SHOULD be nicer tomorrow...


Ears halfway clipped...the one on the left is before...the one on the right is after...and smooth as can be...


A cute face pic...shows both her ears clipped...


And finally, her front legs, all trimmed up and hooves polished...


So okay...I've stalled enough...time for me to get all my gear together for tomorrow...I'm super nervous...so wish me luck!!!
