What horse are you showing? Id say best bet to get info on the bronze level show would be to drop Jess Rhinelander a line, one of the Rainbow girls should have her email.

Just throwing this out there...because I don't think it's really been touched on.
One of the most popular local shows that I loved attending here in Ontario was for fun!!!
There were 3 basic English Classes, 3 basic Western Classes, and then TONS of games and fun stuff, lead line classes, etc.!!!
We had pole bending, barrel racing, musical bags, team games, both disciplines competed and had TONS of fun! Some took competing super serious, but even then it was hilarious and the rest of us had fun!
Points and ribbons were awarded each show and at the end there was a year end banquet with GREAT prizes for high points winners...saddles, bridles, halters, FEED even!
Nobody spent $1000's on expensive show tack and clothes but it gave everyone a chance to make great friends, have fun with your horse, gain valuable experience, give little ones a chance to win "THE RED RIBBON!" and more.
Has anything like that been attemped before?

Yes, we had a complete show circuit of our own once, and we held scavenger hunts, gymkhanas, picnic rides, judged pleasure & competative trail rides, costumed events and of COURSE all the games ! I loved it..everyone had a blast !! Then we had a big party, handed out great prizes for high point etc, but also for things like Horse of the Year, Most Spectacular Dismount, Sportsmanship and so on. Used to be a lot of fun, running & planning & competing in the various events.
Of course we also held recognized shows, regular provincial shows in addition to the fun stuff.

That sounds like so much fun!
Maybe there could be a games type "show" this year? Or even the picnic idea sounds like fun!
Steph, you were talking about have a huge over night trail ride with BBQ and camping earlier this winter did aything ever come of that?
