Knight's First Show

Description

                It had been a little over half a year now since Lucky Starz Ranch had imported Good Knight Kiss, and since then they have been working hard to get the gentle stud to get used to the halter and the commands a showman would have to give him. Knight seemed pleased to be worked with, and always loved being brought out of his paddock and into the stables to do a day’s work. Most of all though, the finicky stallion loved to be washed and clean, though Knight’s favorite experience seemed to be getting his hooves work on. The day before the show the stallion had seemed to know something was different about this time though. He cooperated more, and though he was a little antsy to be loaded up into the trailer after his washing and the farrier came to see him, the stallion still complied easily.

                 As soon as the trailer door opened, and Knight saw all the hubbub, he spooked a little, and it took both Vicki and Mason to calm the stud, but after his little panic attack, the animal did well. Performing excellently in the halter classes with ease and grace that was only natural to the overgrown puppy. He seemed to love being presented, with his ears perked forward in interest and responding well to every command given to him. Knight only stirred when the judge was behind him, seeming to want to keep tabs on the stranger, but other than that, the day went well.

                Knight even went as far as finding some lady friends while in between shows, though Vicki and Mason both took extra precaution while around the mares. It was still too early for the young stud to be breeding, and they didn’t particularly want him getting any ideas. But the ranch owner and import and export manager did come across two young ladies, about Knight’s age, that, when old enough, they decided to breed the stallion too. So that was something to look forward too.

        First time I used a grid method for a digital image - turned out pretty well, but I hate using grids.
        Pretty proud of that background! Probably the best yet!!
