Fason's First Horse Show

This weekend Fason went to the Rockie Mountain Saddle Club show to meet the people and see the sights.  He learned the PA system doesn't mean "everyone bolt from the starting gate", and he attracted enormous attention in the showmanship class.  Most of the other horses were eight to ten inches shorter than he is and were much stockier.  Fason was brave and definitely thought about everything rather than reacting to everything, and he moved really nicely while I hand walked him in the arena and around the grounds, lowering his head and stretching his back, taking long steps with his haunches.  He spent most of the day tied to the trailer eating hay after showmanship, and was very patient and mannerly there.  He had a good time at his first horse show experience, I'm so pleased with how he is coming along!
