Wow, what a weekend! I am still pretty wiped out, as the bed I was in wasn't the most comfy, and not to mention late night tack changing to prepare for the next day...but all in all I am feeling good! I am so glad I had the chance to test out some of my new pieces, and I got some great tips from a very well respected and tough judge, it was fabulous! I have a few more shows I would like to get to this spring, and I am hoping and praying that NAN is in my future as well, I want to make my work's debut at NAN in person, I can't wait!
My overall win list:
Saturday (Judge Lauren Wood)
1st place Modern Arabian Costume-Khaotic-wearing the gold and black number
1st place Historical Arabian Costume-Mehdi-wearing the turquoise native set
2nd place Other Costume (apparently a rein popped off its wax, grrr.) -Khaotic in the green EDH
Champion of CM Other Performance-Khaotic
Reserve Champion of CM other Perf.-Mehdi
Overall Reserve Champion of CM Performance- Khaotic (he is painted by me as well)
Sunday: (judge Lauren Wood)
1st place Modern Arabian Costume-Maxximum Output wearing the gold and black costume
1st place Historical costume-Darkh Knight wearing the Turquoise Native set
1st place Other Costume-Darkh Knight wearing the green EDH costume
1st place other performance- Noisy Rio wearing the carousel costume
Champion of Other Performance: Darkh Knight
1st place Dressage-Pierino
Champion of English-Pierino
(the English classes were quite sparse, Lauren said she thought my entry was very nice and everything was done correctly, though she would have tucked the excess rein I left hanging to the right, so a good entry nonetheless! )
Overall OF Performance Champion-Darkh Knight
AR Minis(all painted by me) Judge Caroline Boydston
1st place TWH, MFT-Cougar's Pride-Mindy resin
Champion of Light breeds
Overall Reserve Champion of AR mini
1st place in Warmbloods-Ricochet-Dinky duke resin

4th place British pony-Silvermist-Netzky resin
5th place Arabian-Sadeek-Mini Nahar

2nd place Paint horse- Sierra Skies-Matriarch resin
So all in all a great list of results for my work, I am very proud. I am so pleased my Mindy did as well as she did, and under Caroline as a judge! She had me shaking so hard after the light breed champ pinning that I could hardly manipulate my tack, but I was able to compose myself and get the green Dancing Horse costume all put on properly, and it kicked butt! Woot!
I've included a few pictures of the show, I couldn't snap many because I was running around with tack changes and such, but I managed a few! Here is the rest of the album in case anyone is interested! http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n74/sagecreations/Las%20Vegas%20Live%202009/

Hi Melissa,
Great pictures, and well done. I noticed on your album you took a picture of a black and red medeival set, I made that! Would it be possible to save a copy of this photo for my records, and possibly post on my yahoo group?
Thanks,
Lauren
Hi Lauren! Thanks for the comment! You can certainly use the picture, I only wish I had the time to take more/better ones! Thanks again for the comment! :0)
