This year, though, I almost skipped it. I was going through a little bit of hobby burnout and just didn't feel up to making the effort. I missed the deadline for a reduced "early bird" entry fee and figured that was that. However, a scribe position opened up at the last minute and I had a change of heart. So glad I did! I didn't show performance, since scribing keeps you far too busy for that. Instead I just concentrated on helping my judge, putting my horses on the table and having a nice, low-key time.
I did not take nearly as many pictures as I usually do, but here are a few that are worth sharing. Of course, I always have to start with a picture of my messy table.
This Donna Chaney Clydesdale resin has been painted to represent an American Cream Draft.
A lovely Lynn Fraley Koko resin.
This is a Scarlet resin customized and painted by Stephanie Michaud, who is one of the hobby's premier oil artists.
This cantankerous mule is a Lynn Fraley Tuesday resin.
Shazaam resin sculpted by Carol Herden. I really like her mules and would love to own one someday.
The mustang class was especially competitive. This Bosco resin is an excellent example of Sheila Anderson's very detailed finishwork. I really like the way she paints roans.
There were several Stormwatch resins in attendance. This wild pintaloosa was painted by Cindy Williams.
Another Stormwatch, this one from Stephanie Michaud's studio. I believe his name is Dokken.
I took a lot of photos of this one.
That face!
Even though I was really busy with showing and scribing, I did find time to wander over to the performance ring every now and again. I really like this team roping set-up by Lu Heater.
Lu is really good at the details. I like the horn wrap on the steer.
