Why the Chicken Crossed the Road results, part two

There were five divisions in Danielle Feldman's Why the Chicken Crossed the Road Photo Show: Everything Else Performance, Western Performance, English Performance, Creativity Challenge and Halter. Today's first post was all about the halter and Creativity Challenge classes. Now it's on to the regular performance divisions!

Everything Else Performance opened with a Scene class, which was won by my good girl, Maeve.

That was followed by a Regalia/Costume class. Shalimay was my highest placer with a fourth place finish. After that, there were two harness classes. Harness is not my strength, and I had to dig deep to create these entries.

It was worth it, though. Dun Up Purdy placed sixth in Pleasure/Fine Harness and second in Working Harness/Combined Driving. 

My other all-around horse, Theodore, won the Parade...

and Showmanship classes. 

Dun Up Purdy was fourth in Showmanship and also in Other Performance.

I figured both of them had to be in contention for the division Championship, and sure enough, Dun Up Purdy was named Reserve Champion to Lisa Smalley's Frederick. Boy, am I glad I end entered those harness classes!

Western was next. Dun Up Purdy started strong with a fifth in Cutting/Roping,

and second in Extreme Cowboy.

He didn't win any classes, but he placed in most of them. All those points added up to a Western Championship.

Onto English! I won three classes in this division: Hunter/Jumper with Flying Phoenix,

English Games with Dun Up Purdy...

and English Rail Class with Hy Society Silver. I had some other good placings, but not enough to get a division title. 

That's okay. I didn't need it. With two division Champs and a Reserve, Dun Up Purdy was the Overall Champion of the show. It just goes to show, there is a formula for success in the performance ring. Show one horse in every class and make every entry count. Of course, luck helps, too!

Thank you for holding such a fun show, Danielle. I really enjoyed it!
