[rutgers]

Euchee Matthews, John Champagne & Armon Effinger is what I heard. I am judging academy.

Julie It will be fun to see you again! Both my horse (Matt Shiflet) and pony (Mystic View Stables) will be at Asheville.

Good luck with your horse's debut. I was a basket case :sweatdrop: when mine made his debut last week. :D

[Mikki]

We're (Burnscroft) going. I'm so excited. I've never been to this show but already can't wait. I think I'm showing in Juv. SP. Good luck!! :tongue_smilie:

[saddlebredgrl135]

I'll be going with Burnscroft! Me and Lamborghini will be in the Open Road Pony class! This show is always fun! And luckily, me and Jason are coming over early and going to the Biltmore! Good luck to everybody!

MARIA and ASHLEY ~
Good luck and make Cleveland TN proud!! Best of luck to everyone in your barn.

I am so excited to get to show at this show again. I haven't gotten to since I was in the 8th grade, and I'm a rising Junior in College, I'm way over due to show in the mountains again!! I really love this show!!!

[BMWgirl]

I am only going to be there the 15th and the 16th unless something dramatically changes. Hope to run into you Road Pony!

[ASB4Kim]

Dave and I look forward to attending the Asheville show for the first time. Good luck to everyone. We look forward to seeing you through our lenses!

Does anyone know which media coverage will be available-Natl. Horseman realtime results, etc.??

Good luck to everybody!

[Thunderstruck]

Last year I did live results a couple of nights, but unfortunately I won't be there this year. :sad:

I didn't see anything about it on National horseman's website last time I looked.

[roadpony]

I'll be going tomorrow for the rest of the week and will make sure SHR has results each day as soon as possible.

There are shots from both inside and outside the ring.

Enjoy!

Erin

[Thunderstruck]

Thanks for the results!

[BMWgirl]

I wish I knew how many horses are in the 3 gaited 3 year old class and the 3 year old park class tomorrow.

[maytime]

Interesting classes, and interesting judging IMO from Thursday night. I disagreed with quite a few placements, though I know the ringside observer's perspective is different from center ring.
Highlight of the night IMO was Diamond's Hope's winning the juvenile gaited class. The amateur road pony class was also nice.

Tim

[Thunderstruck]

Can someone keep an eye out on the 3 year old 5-gaited class and let me know the results?

Thanks!

This may be the year of interesting judging!?!?!?! I am hearing that a lot lately.

[mlinky]

LOL, it's ALWAYS "the year of interesting judging." People will stop questioning judging about the same time we stop having horse shows.

[kittymom]

Can't wait to see the proofs from last night---hint, hint, Erin!

[CUinSC]

Sorry for the delay - I believe they were having server problems. Everything is fine, now, so here are Thursday Night's proofs:

http://dougshifletphotos.com/gallery/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=272150

I was getting a little anxious myself! Happy looking!

Erin

[PercussiveRider]

That Juvy gaited class last night was an all out dog fight in my opinion, so exciting!!!.

[PercussiveRider]

The 3 year old gaited class was pretty good, with three really nice entries.

1-Vitruvian Man with Pieter Snyman
2-I Wish you Well with Tracy James
3-Slot Machine with Paul Boone

These youngsters were very nice!!

[CUinSC]

i think the judges are more than fair and giving THEIR opinion rather than tying the popular person with the most ads in the publications. Afterall we are asking for their opinion.

[wclynn&chuck]

Tigerlee was wonderful---looks even better than last year!!:rockon:

[ldenenholz11]

Does anyone have actual results? I love the pictures but I can't tell who is who!

[Daisygirl]

Ray Cloninger has results on his website.

[maytime]

Wow what a show. Seems like entries may have been down a bit - equitation especially, but quality was there.

Highlight of stake night for me was Our Charming Lady in ladies walk-trot. A sight! And the Showstopper! What a great win for a great horse. Also liked The Blonde Bombshell - this horse can set up and rear back like few I have seen lately. She made some great passes.

(SA) Limebank King of Clubs, Prince's Dominoe, Merry Go-Round, Grande Gil, Tigerlee - all made great shows. I was very surprised by Thunder Crackin. This horse has quality written all over him. I see great things for him when he puts it all together.

The junior classes earlier in the week were awesome. What great young horses.

[PercussiveRider]

The gaited stake wasn't to shabby either. I agree about the numbers, especially in equtation, but the quality of the horses there was outstanding.

I do have a question for those of "high power". Is there a place where I can go to view the judges cards? Are they one Saddle Horse Report yet?

[roadpony]

I do have a question for those of "high power". Is there a place where I can go to view the judges cards? Are they on Saddle Horse Report yet?They'll be posted on SHR some time this coming week. Probably Mon or Tues.

[PercussiveRider]

Thanks!!!!

[Whituk]

Concerning the results for the show found on Ray Cloninger's page: Does anyone know what the "E" of "N" indicates in front of the Horse's name? Does it mean "Excused" or "No Show"?

[cparker912]

Yep, all the "Es" from I what I remembered weren't "excused" from the ring but rather excused themselves...

[cmurph]

Hey Everyone -

Congratulation on a wonderful show this was by far the best thing I have seen all year what a great Saturday night. We where up there picking up a new suit and I managed to grab some shots...well maybe just a bit more then a few.

As a photographer every so often you come across one of those shots that simply stand out. I have been processing the shots I took from this show (not all done yet) and have come across just one of those shots and I need everyone's help to track this person down as she needs this picture. I know this sounds a bit strange and but I was shocked when I saw it and am still amazed it came out of my camera. Can any one help track this person down?
