Autumn Leaf show report and 2025 Vintage Club

 Greetings, readers! I have another show report for you - I was able to get into Autumn Leaf Live at the last minute, so that's how I spent my Saturday. And I had a great time! There were many pretty ponies to drool over, including a number of auction and test models. And there was a certified Good Doggo at the table next to mine! He was a service dog, so I didn't get to pet him, but he was very good at begging for treats (alas, without success). Anyways, here's how I did at the show! 

That's right, I managed to get a rosette this time! Huzzah! And I didn't do too badly in the breed department either, which is mildly humorous considering my show string didn't really change between Coalfield Classic and this show. Sadly, my Via Lattea didn't get a ribbon this time, but I'm not giving up yet - maybe next time she'll finally do better than third. 

It was a little close, but I did manage to get one of every placing in breed and collectibility! Behold: 

Other notes: I decided to give up on showing my matte Namid and my two 7 Arts Surprise pintos, because it was their fifth show and they hadn't really done much. But that gave me room for other stuff! We'll see how they do next time out. Which will be on Saturday at Buckeye's Bluegrass Bonanza! As usual, feel free to say hello if you spot Geralt and Roach. This will be my last show for the year, so I'm not looking forward to waiting until at least March for the next one. Although it'll be nice to have a break after prepping for shows for the last 3 weeks. So feelings are mixed, I guess. But anyway, I'm looking forward to a grand finale on Saturday! 

In other news, the Vintage Club will open to new members tomorrow at 1pm EST! If you’re wanting to join, don’t wait - this club tends to sell out fast. Of course, they did up the membership limit to 1200, and there’s the economy to think of…so maybe it won’t sell out too fast after all. Who knows? I won’t be joining, so at least you won’t have competition from me.
