Maybe it’s a remnant of when I used to groom full time, maybe it’s because I’m nosey, maybe it’s just human nature, but when I see a fancy set-up at a horse show, I always want to walk down the barn aisle and see everything else. Sure there’s rarely anything prohibiting you from cutting down someone’s aisle, but you never know if it's a quiet time or a busy one, and I always feel like I'm intruding. So when I heard about the tackroom judging contest at Menlo Charity, I immediately invited myself. Luckily for me, the show committee agreed to let me tag along and take photos.
