To keep myself distracted from the upcoming batch of referrals, I went out to the Desert Classic Tennessee Walking Horse Show in Indio, CA. I was hoping to scope out the competition in the Leadline Class. That is the class Maxine and I can compete in together. She would sit on the pony and I would lead her around the ring. And, of course... we would have matching riding attire. (My mom and I competed in the Leadline class when I was 2 years old.) So, in CA the Leadline Class is 7 & Under and 70 & Over! How cute is that!!!?! Maxine could compete against her Grandy if we could talk him into doing it. Can anyone imagine my dad being led around on a horse??? ROTFL! So back to the competition....there was none! Not one single, solitary entry in the Leadline Class. Well, there will hopefully be at least one entry next year. Us!
So while I was out at the horse show, my horse and trainer competed in the 15.2 & Under - Open 3 Gait class Saturday morning. And, they won. Then, on Sunday morning we competed in the Pro-Am Specialty class which is where the professional(the trainer, Greg) and amateur rider(me) each show one way(half) of the class. And, we won.

Beth! Your horse is beautful! Congrats on the blue ribbon! I know you and Maxine will win the leadline (even if you are the only entry!!)
Hey! My friend Becky met your mom last weekend at the new Chinese restaurant here in town. She was telling me all about meeting them and their daughter is adopting and I said "Hey! I know her!!" Too funny!!
Praying you're in this batch!
Love,
Monica
Hey Monica, Thanks! My horse is a great distraction from waiting...which will be at least another month. We will not be included in the April batch of referrals. : (
Oh and, when my mom started telling me about who she met, I thought it might be your friend that you mentioned on your blog??? Isn't it a small world! My mom is more than ready for Maxine to come home and she gets so excited when she sees a Chinese baby in town.
Beth : )
