TNRHA Show Weekend

The Tennessee Reining Horse Association put on a great show this weekend.  It was huge with lots of entries.  Chris and Twenty were weekend Circuit Champions in their class.  And Kristi and her gelding, Mr Midnight Whiz, nickname John Henry, were Circuit Champions in Green Reiner II.  This was Kristi's first time showing John Henry and it was John Henry's very first show.  They were great together!

Connor Hobby and his horse just started riding with Chris a few weeks ago.  This weekend was their very first reining, ever, for either.  I think Connor may be hooked and he did impressive job of handling the pressure of riding and showing a reining horse.  Especially a horse new to the reining pen with himself being brand new as well.  Way to go Connor!

Wrapping those legs up - ready for the show pen.

Is there any hay hiding in this blanket???

Sometimes it takes two to get a horse ready for the pen.

You can eat crackers in my bed anytime.....

I love popcorn. I try not to eat much anymore or at least not often, but I used to have a bag of popcorn and a propel every night before bed.  Being without my nightly snack for about three months I broke down and bought a box of popcorn last week.  

Chris climbed in bed one night and said, "Have you been eating in bed?  What have you been eating in bed?  Popcorn????"  (Eating in bed is, I believe, one of his pet peeves.)

I said, "Don't you remember that old Barbara Mandrell song 'You Can Eat Crackers in My Bed Anytime'?" 

Chris, "No, I don't know what that is or what it means but popcorn ain't in it."
