Berks Saddle-ites 5th Annual Model Horse Show: OF English Performance

Kristian Beverly6 Comments

The English portion began with Dressage.

Next came English Event.
 I had a foxhunting scene. The Fault In Our Stars brought me my first ever Blue ribbon in an Open Performance class!
Jumping/ Cross Country had a bunch of really nice jumps and setups. From this show I have learned that I need to clean out my trunk of horrors. Could not find my red and white flag and made do with pole bending poles with a triangle cut out for each side!

 Yay, The Fault In Our Stars!

Next was trail, with the Fault In Our Stars again. With some help, I learned that cantering over poles does not have the same sequence as trotting. (2 legs between poles for cantering) She brought a second place. Yay!

I seemed to have missed the rest of the models for trail and completely missed Pleasure, but tomorrow is western!

My doll’s head kept falling off. Glad it stayed on for the class!

Berks Saddle-ites 5th Annual Model Horse Show

Today was the  Berks Saddle-ites 5th Annual Model Horse Show, a show I’ve been coming to for a couple of years now.

In short, it was a ton of fun. I saw friends, met new people, and showed like mad. This was also the first show that I took my new camera too, so I played with the settings between my mad running between classes. There will not be a total photo span tonight because I just got home, but expect tons of fun show pictures in the coming days!

Making the pack set was much easier than being able to find info about tying things to it.
After searching and searching I found these links. Which were great and extremely helpful.

Anyways, here it is. On my wonderful performance pony. Plus, another set finished for Sat. Not too many more to finish now. :)
The fur was made from the faux fur that you can buy at craft stores. Using my xacto knife, I cut the shapes out. The exacto knife works better than scissors because scissors cut the fur on top. The exacto knife only cuts through the mat on the bottom.

Also, there’s a tack making contest for MEPSA. Link can be found Here.
