Northland's Farm and Ranch Show

What a weekend!!!  Holy way to start show season. 
Northland's Farm and Ranch Show is held in conjunction with the College Rodeo Finals and it sure was an experience for my little Norton and myself! 

On Friday we decided to help ourselves to the round pen set up in our hall (Hall D) and gave some trick demos and went for a little ride.  We caught 30 school kids who were watching the 4-H Alpaca show and did a demo special for them.  It was pretty cool to have 30 kids wave at Norton and have him wave back. 

I was all sorts of proud of him for managing the crowds, the ALPACAS (without even blinking at them) and the really scarey entrance to Northland's main arena, under bleechers!!!  For a little man who's had limited exposure to that kind of show, he was just a superstar!  I couldn't be more pleased.  There is lots of video to come of him and his demos but, for now, here's what his breeder, Bob Williams, caught in our main arena demo of dressage.

Just wish he would've waved at the end... oh well. 

Post more as they get uploaded :)
