Liveshow Groningen 2011 - Halter

I didn't do as well in the Halter classes as in the Perfomance classes, but there was lots of eyecandy to drool over.

If I could I would have taken this one home

Liveshow Groningen 2011 - Performance

I went to my last liveshow for this year, it was held on Saturdag in Groningen. My Performance didn't do as well as I had hoped but my models rocked the Mini Performance. The DQC (Dutch Qualification Championships) were also held in Groningen, you need a qualifying card to be able to participate. These cards are given to the overall 3rd, overall reserve and overall champions of all the shows in the Netherlands. So the DQC has just a few classes; OF, mini OF, CM, AR(all of these a separate breed and color class), Perfomance and Mini Performance.

I won the DQC Mini Performance last year and I won it again this year.

After Rain Comes Sunshine..

Well, that's the saying. I've not had the best days, first I was phoned that Nikita wasn't feeling very well. She had colic, luckily this got better after 2 injections from the vet. And this weekend my dad fell down the stairs, he's broken a back vertebra and has a fracture line in his upper arm. Nikita is doing really well and we are riding again and my dad came home from hospital this morning. Besides that, I've got a lot of nice things to look forward to next week, so sunshine after all.

I've also received a mail this morning saying my Riorondo order has been shipped, I really hope it comes in time so I can finish my western set before the liveshow.

Arabian Costume WIP

I don't really remember when I started this costume, but it is finally starting to look like a costume. And ofcourse, I ran out of yellow DMC thread.. Hopefully I can buy some this week and finish it!

Western Set - Progress

It's almost finished, just need a bit, conchos, reins, and a saddlepad. Should be ready for my next show on the 22nd of October.

More Horse Event

There were also a lot of Spanish horses present at Horse Event:

Vacation is Over

Yes, back to work, real work. I found a new job and have just started my second week. I now work at MultiVlaai, which is a cake shop! I quit my old job as a waitress last week, and now I work more hours which means more money for fun stuff!

Last Saturday I went to Horse Event, the biggest horse related event in the Netherlands. It was awesome.
Here are some photo's of the breed line up:
