Toby's Rocket Chap: 4th out of 7 horses in Model Horse Gelding, Open Breed 2nd out of 3 horses in Open Breed, Jr. Horse 2 Gait English Class 4th out of 7 horses in Open Breed, Jr. Horse 2 Gait Western Class (I think they slipped some older horses into this class by mistake) Colorado Bambi: 2nd of 3 horses in Model Horse Mare, Open Breed She didn't place in the top 5 in the Trail Obstacle class, but did an amazing job (considering I've only ridden her 4 times in the last 4 months. She did all obstacles except the gate). 1st in RMH Classic Pleasure; 4th out of 7 horses in the Open Breed Racking horse class Both of these horses did an excellent job, for the little time I put into them. Rocky did an awesome job, considering that he's only been under saddle since January 2003. I rode him in a Parelli halter/rope, since I hadn't used a bit on him yet. Bambi was in fine form, and I'm looking forward to showing her at the state fair on Aug. 23, 2003, against lots of other Rocky Mtn. Horses, instead of having to compete against different breeds.
