Saturday is Horse Show Day in Tennessee!

And since this is probably one of the last of the season, I hope DH 'feels' like going. KylieBug loves it and her cousin, Shelby, is riding one of their friend's show horses. She rode in one of the Youth classes at the Walking Horse Celebration out in Shelbyville this year and she was so proud and excited, she wants us to go. Maybe I'll throw that up to DH when he gets home. Operation Deploy Guilt Trip is in full effect!!! :P
The Bug is dying to follow in her footsteps! She wants to hang out at the barn and she associates her uncle Richard with everything horse. Several times a day EVERY DAY, I hear "Uncle Wichard is going to wet me wide Shaker when I get bigger" We probably didn't help her obsession by taking her to a local horse show a few weeks ago, because she saw her Unkie Wichard who took her into the warm up ring and let her sit on one of the show horses. She was in heaven and still talks about it.
She even has her saddle suit picked out for her show ring debut. She wants a royal blue show outfit. I asked if she wanted the pink one (cause we all know how she is about pink) but NO, she wants the blue one just like a girl she saw on 'her' white horse at the show. LOL!

Shhhh! Don't tell her but we are on the look out for a taller mini-horse or a pony for Xmas to get her used to being around them before we start letting her officially ride. We know a guy who sells Minis and we drove by there a couple weeks ago and she had a fit because he has some out in the field beside his house. I just hope to hell he has a white one because she thinks that white one she saw at the show is hers.
She'll be so surprised because it hasn't even crossed her mind to ask for one for Christmas. ;)
