If there's anything about horse shows that I've learned over the years… Everything changes.
Very thankful for this show being bigger than the one in May. Thankful for people stepping up with sponsorships. Thankful for a small but incredible dedicated crew working this show. I'm sure we're all going home exhausted. So many smiles. So many thanks said to me. Peace out for a couple of weekends Skowhegan when I'm back with the ranch show ... And once again… Thankful for the best damn exhibitors in the world ❤️

~We will now follow the East Coast Ranch Riding Association rules for ranch classes since our ranch show is affiliated with them.
Specifically:
ALL riders are eligible in Walk/Trot & Walk/Trot/Lope Divisions in all classes and all levels of competition.
ALL riders may ride 2 handed or ride with bridged reins in any legal western shank or snaffle bit, except for professionals. Professionals must ride one handed in a shank bit or 2 handed in a snaffle.
~ Here is the revised barn one stall assignments
We have definitely had some changes in stall assignments. Most are still the same, but there are some changes. I'm on my way to Skowhegan and once I get there, I will alter the stall chart and repost.
Cyndee Sandvil, I believe I have you someplace in Waterville. I thought I would make everyone laugh come on. 
Stall assignments and patterns:
OK, what is Father's Day without a dad's day lead line class? We will be having a lead line class for dads. Sunday morning. Lead by their kids and an adult. It will be class 94.5.

We were sad to learn that the Mass QH Novice Show this upcoming weekend has been cancelled. This show had always been very popular and huge. If any of you QH peeps out there are looking for an open show, we have Tom O'Neil as judge and offer QH classes, Showmanship classes, Ranch classes and tons more! Go to this link:
This show's goody bags 😉
Thank you Yearance & Son Plumbing, Heating & Electric for sponsoring the Morgan Division at the upcoming show! Thank you to the clients of Sea-vu Farm for sponsoring a session at our upcoming show! ❤️
Have 3 or more in your championship class? Lisa at TCB training and instruction has created this incredible photo opportunity for blue ribbon pictures and victory passes. It is for the in ring use only... And will be returned to center ring after every victory pass to be used in the next championship class… Taylor always captures incredible pictures and we are giving her something even more to work with! Thank you, Lisa! 
So let's talk... really.
You want shows in Skowhegan? You need to show up. And if you're exhibiting you need to at least consider sponsoring a class. There's a good group that have been sponsoring sessions and even the show. But that's not enough. If we have 50 exhibitors and they each sponsor just one regular class at $20 that's $1000 worth of sponsorships. That alone would CUT MY LOSS from the May show almost in HALF. Many clubs have left Skowhegan and have shows out of state. I have tried to give you multiple-days shows in-state. Last year I took some flack because I took one away and added a ranch show. So this year I added that show back and numbers are down. Don't complain when there are no shows. I don't own horses. I bend over backwards for everyone. I don't make money at this. And now I'm losing money… And valuable time away from my business. Do NOT lose these shows. 
Rusty Lantern, Route 4, Auburn... look what I found! Let me say there is one bag less there than when I took the picture! Always support the ones that support you! ❤️
Thank you Don Ray Insurance Agency for being a show sponsor of our Blue Ribbon BBQ show!
What's everyone bringing for our barn bash?
Jackie McConkie - may she rest in peace. She did so much good on this earth. The number of lives that woman touched with her love of family, God and horses, is incredible. My heart goes out to all of those hurting, but the memories of Friendship Stables, Jackie and her effort to do things right will live on for a long time... and simply continue with her family at Wright Way Stables.
