[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 403380, member: 1258"] I never showed cows as a kid only ponies. I had one that was really quiet. He was big though 13 hands and I was seven and small for my age. I did all the work to get him to the show by myself (except hoof black, my sister did that because she didn't think I could, she was six years older and knew everything :lol: ). Any how most of the other kids at the show did very little, their parents did it all then the kid would show the animal. I remember one kid on a very expensive pony (her mom would brag about cost) that could only get on it two seconds before going in the ring and then had to get off as soon as she came out. Sometimes she would win, sometimes not but she never enjoyed herself. I was blessed with a good animal. We spent lots of time together and knew each other and we won lots of first place ribbons but that wasn't as important as the fun I had with that pony. I had more knowledge than the other girl and a better time. Have kids changed that much? Wouldn't most kids just be happy with a good (no one wants something they can't be proud of) calf that has a good disposition that they can learn with and have fun? [/QUOTE]
