Dog Show, Horse Show

It was a weekend full of dogs and horses.  The hike Mickey and I participated in on Saturday raised $130,000 for homeless pets.  Yay!  Sunday I went to a dog show to watch Mickey's supermodel* girlfriend Gossamer strut the runway.  Gossy is Diana and Bob's Borzoi.  She was a star.  Yay!

I don't know enough about dog shows to tell you the names of the classes she won, but win she did.  And she earned points.  Kay was showing Gossy and a male Borzoi, Kiss, so when Kiss won his class too, Kay handed his lead to Diana for the boy winners vs girl winners class.

A good time was had by all.

It was a big weekend.  I watched a bit of the dressage championships too.  Remember Elvis?  His half brother, Hound Dog, did very well in the 1st Level championships.  Hound Dog is 4 years old, and owned and ridden by Shannon.

My old friend Phoenix had a rock solid freestyle.
Here's a very short clip of his three tempis.

This horse is such a sweetheart.

*Kay G called Gossy a supermodel in a comment.  It fits and I'm stealing it!

I must tell you when I first began reading this, I thought to myself...I'm not the only one to see that this dog should be called a super-model, and then you mention my name at the bottom. Thank you!
And $130,000! That is so great.
Love the horse video too.
