NaMoPaiMo day twenty five and BreyerWest day two

Today is the twenty fifth day of NaMoPaiMo. There are now over two hundred models in the Winners' Circle.

Today was also the second day - first official - of BreyerWest.

It has been so long since I attended an event at the National Western Stock Show Complex. How wonderful it was to walk in the doors and see that blue and yellow tent!

Today's main attraction was the Open Show. 

I didn't enter this year, so I spent the day talking with friends and seeing the sights. It was awesome.

I also took a lot of photos, some of my favorites of which feature three members of the NaMoPaiMo Class of 2022. This is Lisa Smalley's Appaloosa looking fabulous in the halter ring,

Stephanie Blaylock's absolutely gorgeous foal crushed it in the Custom halter division, winning big in both breed and workmanship.

Finally, here's Lauren Hoeffer's little zebra. I don't know how she placed in her classes, but she looked absolutely fabulous on the table.

Lauren Hoeffer shared so much of her zebra painting secrets on the NaMoPaiMo Facebook page this year. Eventually, we're going to turn that into a guest post tutorial, and in recognition of that, Lauren Hoeffer is the NaMoPaiMo Champion of the Day.

Congratulations to Lauren and to all my friends who did so well today at the BreyerWest Open Show. I can't wait to see what is in store for all of us tomorrow!
