So me and two other girls from my club competed at the MA State 4-H Round Up this weekend. This is the first year that anyone in our club has competed at Horse Judging, Hippology and Horse Judging even at the local level, even though we've been around for 4 years, lol. But in order to go to the state round up, we had to qualify at the local/regional level first. Originally at the regional level, I got 1st in my county in Hippology, and 1st overall for Seniors (ages 14-18) in Western MA. And I placed 3rd in my county for Horse Judging, and 8th overall for Seniors in Western MA.
The State Round Up was held at a water park/hotel, and we were there for the whole weekend, and it was wicked fun. =D
Friday we got there late, ate, studied with my leader, and then crashed. xD
Saturday was Hippology and Horse Bowl. I ended up getting 5th overall for Seniors in Massachusetts in Hippology. The top four placing seniors get to go to Nationals in KY in November, and the fifth place person is the alternate. So I get to study and stuff with the team, and if any one of the top four drops out, I get to go to Kentuckyyyyyy. =D
Then this morning we had Horse Judging. We had five classes to judge - HUS, Western Pleasure, Hunt Seat Eq. w/ a pattern, Appaloosa in Hand, and Hunter in Hand. They were pretty hard since half the horses we had to judge were spazzes, had bad riders, or were lame. -.o
I placed the HUS and WP classes correctly, and only missed by one or two places on the others.
Then we had to present reasons for HUS and Hunter in Hand. I did good on my reasons for Hunter In Hand, but I completely failed on my reasons for HUS. It took me like, 30 seconds, when it should take you around a minute or a minute and a half. xD
I still managed to place 9th overall for Seniors in MA out of like, 40 people or so that qualified from 11 counties. The amount of people and counties was around the same for the Hippology too.

I fail at keeping this updated. =\
Anyways. I'm excited for like, SO MANY THINGS.
This weekend we're going to the state Round-Up for 4-H. 1st in Western Mass for Hippology bitchhhh. I'm something of importance in Horse Judging as well, but I don't care much about that. I hate horse judging. xD So I'm hoping to at least place in Hippology on the state level. Being able to go to Kentucky for getting in the top 4 would be pretty sick too, but I doubt it's going to happen. Lmao.
Then there's Granby Pony Club on May 17th. Best. Show. Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Me & Jennie are grooming for Rachel and Apple, and I'm determined to take as many pictures as I can, of everyone XD.
Then Cape Cod for the last weekend in May. <33333
I really wish I was still going for 2 weeks in the summer, but if all I can get is one weekend, I'll take it.
Graduation the Friday after I come home. =D D= I want to get out of there and graduate, but I don't want to leave. =\
Then North Carolinaaaaaaaa. We leave two days after graduation, for 2 weeks. Wild ponies, and riding on the beach. =DDD
And thennnn, our 4-H club's horse show is on the 28th of June. 3rd year!
THEN OMGZ REGIONALS AT THE END OF JULY/BEGINNING OF AUGUST. =D =D =D =D =D =D
Okay, so I lied. Granby Pony Club is the second best show ever. So what? Regionals is totally the best.
Honestly, what's better than sleeping in a camper for 3 hot nights, and being confined to the local fairgrounds for an even hotter 4 days straight, and doing nothing but showing horses? NOTHING. Bitch.
So yeah, that's about it for the next like, 4 months. xD
