So today the local FFA had a showmanship clinic. Cassandra did good sitting thru the 1.5hr lecture. She then spent 30minutes working hard with Oreo. Several compliments on how well Oreo led.

How awesome! Oreo sure cleaned up good and looks so pretty. Cassandra has grown! She is going to do so good showing her sheep!

You can see AMAZING change in her handling from the first show at 10am to last around 1pm. So many good tips from the other parents and judge.
1st, Showmanship video
2nd, Dorper-Hair video
3rd, Commercial Ewe video
We didn't stay for the costume contest since she was so tired. It was also supposed to be around 6pm since there was another full set of Ring B classes.

She is learning and looks like she is having FUN.... that is the most important at this stage of the game. And the lamb is soooo nice looking... love the "oreo" cookie effect...

I loved the videos! Mom can’t help herself, muttering encouragement that Cassandra more than likely couldn’t even hear! Hahaha! Cassandra did great, Oreo walks good on the halter, I know that has taken a lot of work.
Well done!

I always had to leave the ringside after making sure everyone had all their equipment, collecting stuff they didn't need, halters, etc. If I stayed at ringside, they blamed for the loss. If I left, they would win, and my friends would scold me for missing it! LOL
Cassandra is coming along great! Getting more sure of herself and her abilities. Soon she will be teaching other kids how to fit and show their sheep!
With regard to Cassandra's dyslexia, both my brothers had it, went through college, and are successful. DS2 had language related learning disabilities. His successes in 4-H with his livestock really made the difference in his self-esteem. He was a County All Star, State Diamond Star, etc. Graduated from High School on the honor roll and graduated from college.

I am tired of hand stitching emblems on Cassandra's costume. Remembering WHY I normally only work with cotton or cotton/linen blends. Polyester sucks!
So I wipped up the saddle for Oreo. I based it on a bareback riding pad shape. The wings will attach and seperate units so I can reuse the saddle section. Loops are for front and rear girth attachements.
