Showing Gypsy?!

Look at my pony go! I gave her a bath and she was lovely and clean. I then lunged her in the front yard in the sun so she would dry off, and she was being so slow and quiet! So you know me, I had to video it. The other secret reason for videoing is...well, every time I bathe Gypsy I have to either take video or photo of it, because the clean lasts for about three seconds. But look how slow and nice she is going! :) Makes me happy.  
I think I have decided I want to take Gypsy to a show or two this summer. OH DEAR GOD NO not riding! Ha, no. I want to take her to little open shows and show in halter or showmanship. I have done so much ground work over the years, and she will haunch and forehand turn, trot in hand, and sort of stand square when I ask.  I think it would be finally something sort of fun to do with my own horse. And no riding means I won't stress out over it. I figure...starting her "showing" at 20 years old, well, we may not win, but it could be fun getting her all pretty and showing her off a little. So I think I found a couple little shows in my area over the summer. And I want to take her to the open show during our county fair! That would be cool.
