Porquis Summer Schooling Show
June 22, 2008

Despite the unpredicable northern weather, the first Porquis schooling show was still a lot of fun for all who showed. The day started off sunny and actually too hot at some points, but sure enough, part way through, mother nature did her thing.

Right in the middle of a showmanship class, as I was going towards the judge, BOOM! Lightening hit, thunder rolled and hail bounced off my horse back like nails! My poor mare was curling around me begging to find an escape from the short, unexpected storm. We all ended up going into our horse trailers. No, not to stay dry, I was already soaked by the time we got there!

After about 30 mins in, the rain let off and we completed the riding part of the show including games. The ring was a bit wet, but everything still went off smoothly..

Tiffinany's students from Horse Power Stables experienced their first show with joy as they went home with many ribbons and a big smiles.

We placed 2- 1st's, 5 -2nds, a 3rd and high point for open. However, there wasn't many people in Open, so the competition was slim. Shelly with Sweet Pea did fantastic as always!

Lisa Boivin was our judge and did a fantastic job. She will be judging the next show on July 20th as well.
Congrats to all who placed and all who reached their goals!
