We brought three horses, BW's Spidermann and Olympia's E.D. Show Me, my own, and 
CS Royal Toros Silver And Gold, from JL-Starlight Miniatures. I had only worked with Silver for 3 weeks, and I wasn't sure it was enough...

We arrived friday morning, stabled the horses and raised our little camp. 
Now the horses had all day to recover from the 8 hour journey.

Satuerday we were busy.All three horses had to be mesured before they went to the ring.
 Silver was the first in the ring, he did well, 4th place in Open Senior Stallions.
Then it was E.D. og Spidermann in Open Oversize stallions. 

I was showing E.D. myself and Patricia from Divigo Stables was showing Spidermann. It went very well. E.D. was Champion and Spidermann was Reserve Champion in Open Oversize stallions. They were both qualified to Open And Amature Grand Championship for Stallions and Geldings. There was a lot of participats in this Championship, and a lot of them were AMHA-horses. 

The pressure was great, but we didn't expect too much. It was some wery fine and expensive horses we were competing with, and I was wery surprised and extremly happy when the speaker mentioned my number. E.D. was Reserve Grand Champion. 
RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION  Open And Amature Stallions and Geldings!!!!!!

One of the horses that didn't win, was Grand Champion at the World Show in USA in 2006!

Sunday only Silver was showen.
He had been very restless satuerday, but now he was relaxed  and well behaving.
He was showen in AMHA Senior Stallions and did good again, with a 4th place. 
Later it was the great test..... 
The AMHA Showmanship.
 Silver was not behaving well, when I got him for training, he believed he was the leader, and I had only worked with him for 3 weeks. I was anxious to see how well trained he had become.
Again he did very well. 
He was Champion. 

A very exiting weekend ended with a tremendous thunderstorm with a lot of rain, 
as it is tradition at the Country and Farm Fair in Aalten.
