What about me at the shows? Second in a rated (a/k/a graded) show I would be very happy with that!

2nd place is the first loser. (This is why it's not a good idea for me to be showing anymore... I'm WAY too competitive.)

Hey Buck and I got two seconds and a third out of seven down in Wellington last month. Against all these warmbloods too. My little wild haired man is actually in third place overall in the hunter division out of about fifteen or so horses.

So you see with a backyard quarterhorse who is probably only worth about 5000 at the most, I consider second place to 30,000-40,000 horses a GREAT accomplishment.

Compare it to Sumwon running against say RTR; DOA; etc... and coming in second. Would you be disappointed?
