PaSRBA Convention- Madelyn's first Rabbit Show

Madelyn, experienced the PaSRBAConvention in Lebanon, PA. a few weeks ago. This was her first time showing her rabbit, Almond. 

 

 

 

Madelyn entered into 3 contest for Friday Night at the show. Breed ID, Judging and Showmanship. Here she s studying in the car on the way to the show. 

 

Showmanship, here she is examining her rabbit and explaining what she is checking.

Judging, this was her favorite contest. She examined several bunnies that looked identical and made decisions on what order the bunny would be placed by compairing it to the standard bunny in that class of rabbits. 

 

Saturday morning....very early we made our way back to Lebanon for the convention. Here Madelyn is waiting to put Almond on the table to be judged.  

Second Place!!!!!   

She was so stinkin excited!  Her first show with her first rabbit and she placed.  It was a great morning and a great first experience for her.

 

 

 

So what do you do after you show your bunny???....

 

You go meet other breeders,

the problem is that you will most likely come home with another bunny!!!

 

Meet Madelyn's new addition "Joy"

"Joy" came "pre-loaded". So we will have some little ones in, oh, about 28-30 days.

Do you remember her first bunnies name? Almond

so she has two bunnies

"Almond, Joy"

funny girl.

 

 

 

Madelyn has been working hard on her hobby of raising rabbits.  She has come up with a name for her future rabbitry and she and her dad even created a logo together.

She is a young entrepreneur and is looking forward to raising Polish rabbits to sell and compete in future shows.  She is currently working on putting together a website to show off her bunnies.

 

Its fun to see her passion and interest in this area.  She is a hard worker and has learned so much on her own over the past few months.  Her 4-H leader Lori Jo as well as her daughter have been wonderful to encourage Madelyn and answer any questions she has... and she has a lot!

 

Personally, I have enjoyed meeting new parents and getting to know the wonderful people in her 4-H group as well as new friends that we met through the show in Lebanon.
