If we go - and that's still a big if - we will help trailer some other horses going to the show from the friend of ours who has Friday. I believe the trainer is taking several of hers also and they only have a four horse. I guess it ends up much less expensive if we all fly the trainer to OK and trailer the horses ourself. So we would be convoying with two trailers and six or eight horses. So far, it doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me but I wouldn't get on a plane so that's about the only way I can get to OK. And it should be fun when we get there if Tuffy is good enough to take.

I was disturbed by a post on the horse.com board from that guy in Georgia that has the HYPP N/H horses, solid or with little color that he wins with at the Nationals and the World. I had hoped that with all the outcry the past few years we weren't still dealing with quarter horse judges who can't see past color to conformation or ability so automatically discount them. I'd hate to haul all that way and put out a ton of money to have a solid quarter horse with his nose on the ground win :)

It is sad, but those are the bloodlines that win at the big shows. Especially, the halter lines. Not too sure about ApHC, but the AQHA is banning registering the HYPP horses in the near future. Amy had to send in hair samples for Biscuit before they registered her.
