SUNDAY FUNDAY

[Crazy_Bug_Lady]

Did it! There was packing tape all over the tube, so there was no chance of removing all the bubbles and creases. There's duct tape at the ends and middle to keep the ends of the contact safe. And it looks pretty.

OMG @Crazy__Bug_Lady, Miss Heifer is going to be so proud of you, you will be the pick of the show for me, all mathing in your pretty blue 🙂

[Crazy_Bug_Lady]

Our first show for the year will be at the end of March, I'll have to put up heaps of pics of her in her pretty gear. I got a $50 voucher from the boss, so I need to get up the nerve to go into the store. I plan to buy a blue workshirt to match all my other gear, maybe two if I can get the timing right with sales.

Ahhhhh!!! Now I've started getting things for showing I am getting excited!!! Actually, I was excited, now I've started writing my stud name I am getting *really* excited.

And I start training her on Sunday!

Way too excited.

I'll probably be nervous as hell on the day, but whooo!!!

[Jacques]

OMG @Crazy_Bug_Lady, you are going to get best dressed in show, i would vote for you!!!!!, i am sure Miss Heifer is going to love it. Please let us know when you win some awards, would love to see the ribbons you get 🙂

[Crazy_Bug_Lady]

Hahaha @Jacques fingers crossed!

The only thing is I haven't bought her the leather show halter yet. So I'll either borrow a set, or take her in the ring on her ropes...

I'd buy custom ones (with a blue leather braid ) so they'll cost around $300... I'd rather go without for the early shows and buy her an adult set that'll fit her at the end of the year and beyond.

their are some nice show halter's on ebay here is a link to the show halters if you want to look:

My goodness she is a spoilt little thing :), she will not know herself, she is going to be so pretty, i know why you are so excited, i am sure she will lead well, as she just follows you around anyway 😄

please post a pic with all her gear on, she will look so cute.

do you paint her hoofs and all, like the show horses?

I have been watching the cattle here all day, they have been chasing the cockatoos around the paddock, now they are head butting, so cute.

[Crazy_Bug_Lady]

I can borrow one of the bosses halters for showing if I want, but I'm happy to show her on her bright blue ropes for the first two shows. The link you sent also has rope halters from the person I'll be getting my leathers from! This is the halter I want to get. The other three studs I work with (the boss and my two friends) have the same in their colours, you should see how they stand out in the show ring. Totally worth it, they're well made, and we ask for the leather leads to be replaced with rope. Saves our hands, and we have a better grip. She can also repair them, we only pay shipping back to her.

[Jacques]

OMG @Crazy_Bug_Lady, that looks fantastic, and repairs are free? wow, my next door neighbour is a lether maker, he makes custom made stock whips. 

@Crazy_Bug_Lady, it must be so nice to be able to do a hobby you love, i so wish i could do my hobbies again.  i wish you al lthe best @Crazy_Bug_Lady, i know you will do well.

@Jacques I'm starting to think I should start a new thread where we can talk about cows and the like non-stop 😉😉
Maybe I should change my name from Crazy_Bug_Lady to Crazy_Cow_Lady 😂😂
Also, Google "Cattle Clobber" when you have a chance?? They have cheap halters. I was sort of thinking of getting a small blue one for Killi to wear at the March shows... What do you think?? Or just her ropes, they are solid blue, exactly the same colour as her ear tag.

[Jacques]

I think you may be right @Crazy_Bug_Lady , wow i just looked at the web site, the sky blue one on the calf looks adorable, Oh you have to have it all matching, nothing matters to a girl more than matching accessories
