Vesta: An American Mustang.: Western States Wild Horse and Burro Expo

Hey y'all!
Yesterday , Friday, Vesta and I showed in the Western States Wild Horse and Burro Exposition! Man that is a mouthful! This is Vesta's first show and she was simply amazing! I could not have expected anything better.
We entered in five different classes and ended up preforming in six. Our First class was the first class of the entire expo, and we happened to be the first contestant, so that was special! Our first classes was mares halter two and under. We placed 2nd and got to advanced to the Championship halter round. We didn't place here, but it was awesome just to be there!
Our second class was colored halter, which we didn't place in either, but Vesta finally got the idea of squaring up! Our third class was showmanship which we did our pattern very well for our first pattern class ever! We ended up getting 4th out of an eight horse class!
Our fourth and fifth classes were trail type classes. We've been practicing rounds but there were so many obstacles that we had never done before! Our in-hand trail round was great! She didn't spook at anything! She went easily over the ground poles, though we did knock them a little, then through the narrow mechanical gate flawlessly! This gate is notoriously tricky! We then went through the "L" and then had to back through it. She backed easily and only put one foot out! We went over and opened and closed the mail box and pulled out the mail. We hadn't done this before and she stood there so calmly! We went over a big bridge with out any problem and trotted into a 3- sided box. After we turned we went over three ground poles laid out on astro turf. She didn't even flinch! She was amazing! Placing haven't been announced yet, but I'll edit this when I find out.
Our fifth class was called, "Gambler's Choice" it is a class that consists of a bunch of crazy obstacles laid out and you choice the difficulty and order in which you do them. You have 2 minutes to do as many as you can and get as many points as possible. We managed to rack up 60 points, which was very good. I doubt we will place because a few people out ranked us and many others got 60, but I was thrilled with how well she did! We went over a tarp and turned around on it, over a rocking bridge and made it rock, through a square with cans, through a tire rim, over trotting poles, a tiny mat strip and finally up on a pedestal. After we had finished I got to play around on the course and we did all the other obstacles. She was great!! Didn't spook at anything and was willing to try everything!! Nothing seems to phase her at all! I am so proud of her.
Alright! Well I got a bunch of pictures, I think I'll put up most of them. For those of you who like pictures, there should be around 45 or so to look at!
** EDIT** I found out my trail placings on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised! I placed 2nd in my Gambler's Choice class,which had about 5 people in it, and 4th in my trail class! I think I was more impressed with the 4th because there were about 15 people in that class! Way to go Vesta!
