Figured there would be way too many topics if we posted a new one everytime an AA member took home a ribbon...so why don't we celebrate them all here, as well as post results of the rest of the show.

It's just day one of the show and so far the AA has won...
TF Sir Prize and Del - 2nd place 5 & Over Stallions AAOTH
Sirpremacy DP and Del - Top Ten 2 year old colts AAOTH
NN Psymin Azferdron and Natalie - Top Ten 3 & 4 year old colts AAOTH

Hey Kaitlyn, you got Psymin's class right. We were SO THRILLED with how he performed. I could care less where he placed. He traveled 1500+ miles and did his job and did it well.

AA has been proudly represented. We have all met and are doing what we can to help one another. It's been GREAT. See my blog for more info on what I've been up to

This is a fantastic start!!!! Somebody PLEASE take a pic of the ribbons hanging on the AA drapes please!

Huge congratulations to all. GO AMMYS

Is there a website showing results?

SWEEEEEEEET!!!! AND CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!....THAT IS SOOOO AWESOME! The Ammy Army ROCKSSSSSSSSSS! Show em it CAN and IS being done!!!

Hugs, Rebecca

Nat it is so true! I have to give a huge thank you to Jerome and his wife for grooming Jehan for me today, taking him to and from the arena and coaching me on the rail! We had a great time and felt that Jehan did very well, although we did not make the cut. I had a great time in my class and look forward to more showing with him!

Stacy,

I don't know if this means anything, but I think back to a few weeks ago when I visited you and Jahan at your home. He is a different colt than that day and I was so very, very proud to know you as I watched you show. I watched you take care of him, and I watched him take care of you. Does it get any better than that? Well done shipmate.

Stacy...I wish I'd been there to cheer you on, too...congrats on a super effort with a wonderful horse...it gets better and better and the fun never ends!...glad you had the support of the Army there supporting you!

Congratulations to everyone and cheers for all who have not competed yet. I can't be there with you, but you all are very much in my thoughts and I am rooting for the success of the Ammy Army!!! Show the Scottsdale nabobs what the "little people" can do. Ellen

way to go all who showed i for one am busting buttons for you all and am proud to be part of ammy army even though i have no horse yet

(HUGS to all of you) This is the way horse showing should be! Friends helping & cheering one another on & horses showing off & showing well because they LOVE what they're doing & because they LOVE the people handling them. I second the request to see pics of the ribbons hanging on the wall Del, you have to plan to do this again next year so I can be a part of it & thank you to all of you for keeping us back home feeling like we're a part of it.

Applauds fellow shipmates & sends love to them

Great job to everyone that showed out there!!! I was there to watch when I could.

aww Del, it wouldn't be the same without you. we need you there

We'll hold down the fort for you Del! We hope you'll make it, but will carry on.

Del gave me a big lesson today. We went up and viewed photos and video from the class. I learned a lot about what I can improve on. We also picked up the results book. Jehan was Top 10 on one of the judge's cards!

I think Sport Horse is up next for Natalie and I. Not sure if it will be on the live feed. Our filly Sami will be going at 8:30 (approx) in ATH and Open. Our stallion Jr and Natalie's Psymin go at approx 10:30 in both arenas. Will have photos to post!

SIRPREMACY DP finished in the Top 5 with cards that read 5-5-6. I just love that little fella with the big heart:)

Congrats to all of you that have won - what a great accomplishment!!!! And to all of you that are there - and showing on your own, AA style - a huge congrats to you too, for being there .
I'm saddened we couldn't be there - someday, we'll make the trip from WI. But this year wasn't to be - Desi is heavy in foal and has a month and a half to go only.
We are at home cheering for you all on the sidlelines - go AA!!!!!


Ann - DesertSong Arabs

So how did the SHIH classes go!!?? Stacey? Natalie?

OK, OK...

MF Amirah Samrah placed 3rd out of 4, 4 out of 4 (didn't show very well today)

Our Jr Stallion MF Khafaz Fahim brought home two 3rd place ribbons out of 7 horses! He actually tied on scores with the 2nd place and Reserve Champion Stallion, both classes. Lost the reserve by 2%.

Natalie's Psymin brought home a 4th place out of 7 and a 6th of 7. He was beautiful, a little bit playful and nippy, kind of made his trot a problem.

So tally for today...6 more ribbons for the AA wall! Rebecca has the photos...

I didn't realize until looking at results this morning that Prize had placed ahead of Fausto!!!

Prize was 2nd in liberty and Samrah got 3rd! Hopefully Prize's scores will hold up for the final. Can't wait to see Noble Lord go on Friday evening!

And huge congrats to Jerome on making the cut with Quantico in the Auction Yearling Colts class!!

Del, that is fantastic!! What time does NL go Friday night? I will be somewhere that has high speed so I can actually see a class

Isn't that the truth Jerome! You and Monique both have been huge for me down here! Monique helped prep me today in warm up and coached me. Her training/riding concepts are very similar to my dressage trainer at home. So, I understand what she's telling me and asking of me.

I've also learned how to clip and groom pretty well from both of you!

Looking forward to actually seeing your boy go on Friday!

I am so thankful for everyone's help and friendship. It's nice to have friendly faces...even if a week ago we were all just text on the screen. I took a billion photos of Jerome in his SS class. I am just so pooped to download them!

We had a good time at the AA barn party last night. We all showed our stallions and the folks had lots of questions and conversation. It's been a great experience. I wouldn't trade this for the world!

Congrats to all of you!
It is definitely inspiring. I'm another who gave up showing many years ago because it was just lonely and no fun anymore.
Hopefully I can make some Region 3 friends...

Congrats to you all for a job well done so far at Scottsdale! It's impressive how well you guys have done. And Del, since you're gonna be close to me next year, you and I will have to go to The Buckeye!!! Maybe we can pick up a few ammies on the way from FL to OH

I've loved watching all of you guys show, it's been very impressive!! I just wish I could take my mare there.....
