The reason I didn't post last week was because we were at the Big E! This is one of the two llama shows that is relatively close to us, so of course we had to go! We left Thursday afternoon and got back home Sunday evening.

I was worried about getting checked in late (we couldn't check in at the show until 5 pm) and not having enough time to get everyone washed Thursday evening, so the boys got their baths before we left. Kara didn't show in halter until Saturday morning, so I washed her at the show Friday afternoon.

Luckily this fairgrounds was more organized, although we did have to drive about 10 miles away to park the trailer! Really makes me miss the simplicity of all the Midwest shows we used to go to.
Friday was the first official day of the show. T and I showed in the very first class (Advanced Adult Showmanship) and got 3rd with some great competition. A few hours later he placed 2nd in his halter class (Non-Breeder Adult), and personally I think he got robbed! But oh well, I'm pretty sure he already has all the ILR-SD halter awards he can get. Everyone showed in Novice Pack Friday afternoon as well.

Saturday was Kara's day to shine. We started off the day with her halter class (Medium Wool 2-yr-old Female), and she won! Sure, there were only two in the class, but she looked great and the judge said lots of nice things about her. I was really hoping she'd get Reserve Grand Champion again, but the championship class was really tough. We also got to go back in for Best Bred & Owned Female (you have to qualify at this show to enter the class), but they only place one animal and she didn't win. Not terribly surprised though. Everyone also showed in Novice Public Relations and Obstacle, but no placings there either. The performance competition was stiff! Late in the evening T and I went back for Ground Driving, and he got 2nd!
