place .
Willow placed second in her halter class, and was entered in the Costume Class, and the in hand trail class but didn't
place.
Joy, just WOW! We didn't ribbon in the over 4 year old Paint class but we placed in Flags, Ribbons, in hand trail and
won the under saddle trail class for the second year in a row. Overall, we walked away with High point for our age division.

Deepwater Labor Day Harvest Picnic Horse Show 2017
4-H and FFA Horse Show. Thanks to Megan Swaters and one of my students, Tylar, who took pictures of Joy and I showing
today, and sent them to me. Her's are most of the Pole Bending Race pictures.
I am really proud of my brother, Michael Mantonya who showed Rebel, his 3 year old, for the first time. Alexis Mantonya
showed Red instead of Soldier because he was lame this morning. Mya, rode Jack and ended up winning the Reserve High Point
in 13 and under.

kicked by another horse, fortunately neither Alexis or Joy was really hurt.
107th Calhoun Colt Show, 2016
September 11, 2016
Total Ribbon Count, 6 blues and 4 reds. One blue ribbon for my gourds, the other 9 ribbons were in the Western Horse Show
on Sunday.
Joy and I won 2 second place red ribbons and 1 first place ribbon. The Two reds were in 4 and older Paint Horse Halter
class, and in the Arena Trail Challenge class, in hand division. The blue was won in the under saddle Division of the Arena
Trail Challenge. That one, was a real surprise and I was super happy about it.
Sky won a 1st place ribbon in the 3 year old Paint Horse Class. She had some tough competition. We also did the Arena
Trail Challenge in hand. She didn't place high enough in it to be recognized but I was super happy about how she handled the
obstacles in the arena especially since we hadn't practiced any for it.
Geronimo did really well considering just 3 weeks earlier he wouldn't let me touch him except on the nose. Vicky Mantonya
Church led Mattie, his dam, in the Mare and Foal Class, and again in the Grand Champion Halter Class. Geronimo won first place
in the Mare and Foal class, and then came in second in the 2016 Foal class because he decided to stop and refuse to move a
bit when we were showing. He placed below his half sister, and then proceeded to kick her in the line up. Rose knocked over
her child handler but fortunately he wasn't really hurt just scared and scratched up some. I felt horrible about it. Geronimo
also was entered in the Most Colorful Paint Horse Class and won a second place red ribbon.
Lucy and I won two first place blue ribbons. She won her Yearling Paint Halter class by default, no other entries, and
then helped me win the Costume class. Vicky Mantonya Church, again helped me by walking in with me holding the Broke and Busted
Saddle Club flag, as I followed leading Lucy, limping while carrying a broken saddle over my shoulder. Thank you, Michael
Mantonya for leaning me your old hat and the saddle. I was trying to bring the theme of the Saddle Club logo to life.
Diamond and Ranger was supposed to go and also show in the Mare and Foal class, the 2016 Foal class, and Diamond in the
4 yrs and older Paint Class and the Most Colorful Paint class with Michael Mantonya but Ranger got sick and was not healthy
enough to be exposed to the stress of showing, etc.
Deepwater Labor Harvest Picnic Horse Show 2016
I hauled Joy to Deepwater for the Horse Show part of the Deepwater labor Harvest Picnic. This was to be our first show
where Joy would be under saddle. She spent most of March at the trainer in Lowry City learning how to be ridden and since
then I've put between 8-9 hours in the saddle on her prepping for showing and getting to know each other as rider and horse.
I had HOPED to ride her more this summer but she was injured June 30th in a storm and wasn't released to ride until August
4th; and, I worked late into the summer than was sick late July and into August.
The PLAN was to show in Halter, an Open Class for all breeds and levels of exhibitors(our first non-Paint specific halter
class. And our first halter class in the 4 year old and older aged class, too.) Then the PLAN was to show under saddle in
the Adult Walk/Trot class. IF that went well we would try Western Pleasure, Pole Bending and Barrels.
We placed in the Halter class 4th place out of 9. Adult Walk/Trot, 4th place out of 7. 4th place in Adult Western Pleasure
out of 4. And, in Adult Pole Bending(46:10) we placed 5th out of 6 or more riders-I lost track! We didn't place in the Adult
Barrels(39:36) but we completed the pattern nicely.
I am overjoyed with my JOY! She showed how great of a work ethic she has, how willing she is to please and where we are
in our training.
It was a fun day. Michael Mantonya, Vicky Mantonya Church, Alexis Mantonya, also showed in various classes. Thanks, Mya
and Christina Mantonya for supporting the habit. Mya showed her horse April in the her Halter age class. A special thank you
to Martin O'Dell for coming and watching the show.

12. Most Colorful Paint Horse
Scout (Michael)1st
Kem(Me)2nd
Joy(Tori) 3rd
In the Grand Champion Halter Class, there were 14 horses in it. Six of those horses were mine. Two more of them were offspring
of our stallion, Sundance.
22. Lead line (7 & Under) Stacy & Mya and I 1st place.
We have shown the last three years together, with a 1st, 3rd, and 1st place in this class. Mya will be too old next year for
us to show in the class.
I also participated in the Walk-trot class, and Western Pleasure class, both 14 and older on Brazzy. That's the first time
she and I had done anything like that. We didn't win but we had fun! She goes WAY TOO fast to win in these classes but she
did everything I asked of her so I am a happy person.
Stacy and I participated in two speed events; poles and barrels. It was the first time we had done that too. I and DO mean
the first time!!! We had never run either of the patterns; just practiced making turns and weaving around cones. She ROCKED
it!!

were in the last group eliminated before the winner was determined between the last two. WOW!!!!!!

They made it through the walk, trot, and was loping when they lost their dollar.)
Lead Line (7 and under):
Stacy
ridden by Mya (5 yrs old) and lead by me, 1st Place. (This was a last minute decision to do. No
practicing or anything. Stacy spooked at the concession stand, but Mya hung on like a champ and
kept on smiling. Very thankful for the ole Clinton Anderson lead and halter I was using on Stacy
at the time!)
Thank you everyone that helped with the halter changes, horse changes, etc.,
at the show, and all the prep work all week. A special thanks to my Brother and his family and friend, Tori, for ALL
their hard work the last couple of weeks. And my sister and her husband for the tack for Mya and I to
use. Along with those that came to cheer us on. Hope everyone else had as much fun as I did!!
