Thumbs Up for SARBA Show!

Thumbs up for Defiance, too! 
My husband doesn't like rabbits so much, but even he was excited at this weekend's SARBA Show in Seguin.  

Our girl, Defiance, won BOB in Show A!  We were so proud that she was able to win her first leg.  She's our first homegrown rabbit so that made it extra sweet. 

There were Angoras everywhere this weekend and it was so great to see that.  There were 8 English Angoras, 17 Satin Angoras, and 5 French Angoras...Wow! 


Here's the results:
Show A (Judge Mike Withrow)
English Angora BOB: Brian and Kelly F. (Defiance's first leg!)
English Angora BOS: Danielle N.
French Angora BOB: Michael and Linda F.
French Angora BOS: Michael and Linda F. 
Satin Angora BOB: Dana F.

Show B (Judge Loyd Morgan, Jr.)
English Angora BOB: Sasha M.
English Angora BOS: Danielle N.
French Angora BOB: Michael and Linda F.

Satin Angora BOB: Dana F.

Dana and Sasha showing how to make yarn.
Sasha and Dana gave a wonderful spinning demonstration.  They gathered quite a crowd and gained a few new Angora fans.  Their demonstration was just a little bit of what the Texas Angora Rabbit Club has planned.  It was exciting to see so many people interested. I got to see Ricardo again who gave me some great feeding tips to help my Angoras grow better.  I practiced pencil drafting with Sasha and Dana brought her Ashford spinning wheel. This was the first time I actually saw one in person.  I have to get one of those!..super cool. 




Danielle and her two pretty English Angoras
I also got to visit with Danielle and her girls again. It was good to see them and how nice their rabbits are developing. Everyone is so friendly and cooperative...a real fellowship of friends working for one goal.  Beat the Standard! What an awesome group of people and...we had a great representation of Angora rabbits.

    WOW!! Way to go! Congrats on such a nice win with a homegrown to boot! ;-)

    I hope you can come to our A/C show in Longview this June. Would REALLY love a nice turnout of angoras there and would be so neat to see the spinning demo...that is something I myself would love to watch. :-)
