Wednesday at the horse show

We had been noticing that our "RV Park" has become more of a horse trailer park:

... quite a few horse trailers with camping facilities in them...

We decided to ride our bikes over to see what we could see on the event grounds...

As I mentioned in yesterday's post (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/12/out-and-about-in-scottsdale.html), there is a Paint horse show going on... "Paint-O-Rama" - but it did not appear limited to Paint horses...

... it was, however, a very high class horse show. All of the horses had bejeweled bridles on.. the tails on these horses appear to have never seen a pasture or actually flicked off flies, they must be kept wrapped and treated with high quality shampoos and conditioners!

These were coming from the show ring - can't let the horses get cold, want to keep their coats pretty! Carl liked the purple cover!

This was an interesting color - a roan body but with more solid head and front legs.

There's one I would classify as a Paint...

... and there's another Paint in the washing station - it almost looks like it has a heart shape on its neck!

We made our way into the arena - the horses in the area close to us were preparing to go... the judging was going on at the other end.

We got there just in time to see the "Master Showmanship" class -- they had a specific set of tasks they were to do, each did it one at a time.

Not only were the coat and mane and tail of the horses gorgeous, but the exhibitors all had these beautiful sparkly blazers on... it looked like they were ready to go to a New Years Eve party!

We only got to watch the one class as they took lunch break after it and we were heading over to the house where the family was staying, but it was interesting to watch and to see some of the horses and their exhibitors!
