North Carolina Championship and the Al Prewitt Memorial

Congratulations to everyone who did well at the shows in North Carolina. There were some really good horses there. It was great to get to fellowship with all our horse show friends after the long cold winter. We especially want to congratulate Blueberry Wine on her Classic Pleasure Championship with Robert on board. We also extend our sincere congratulations to RRF Gold Nugget for winning the Adult Versatility Award and the AL Prewitt Memorial Award with Charlie DeAtley up. What awesome performances!

Success is not a destination, it's a journey.

2010 World Equestrian Games Try-Outs

Congratulations to RRF Gold Nugget for being selected to participate with the Rocky Mountain Horse demo at the World Equestrian Games! Blueberry Wine is also in a group of alternates. We've been at the fairgrounds in Richmond today where over 40 horses tried out for the 14 slots that are available. We also want to congratulate Judy Brummer and Legendary Lady for making the cut. Several other horses were selected. I'll try to confirm my list and make another post. The RMH demo will be Sept. 25-28. We do not yet have the times but will post those as soon as we know. It is exciting to be part of this awesome event.

Sonny

Our friends and clients Scott and Barrie Hughes lost their gelding, Sonny, to cloic Friday night. They found him in distress, got the vet, and treated him with the routine procedures for colic. Unfortunately, it was just too severe for Sonny to survive. We started him here a couple of years ago. You all probably remember Scott and Barry's filly, My Best Friend Gail. We never had the opportunity to show Sonny. He was a nice looking gelding - red chocolate with lots of chrome in his mane. It's so sad when this happens. Our hearts go out to them.

The Cross Filly

It was with a sad heart that we read the email from Dale Honn today. The Cross Filly, that was here last year and shown by Mike Butler, was caught in the fence last week. The injury was so bad that she had to be put down. We are so sad for Dale and Edwina at the loss of this fine filly. She was resesrve KMSHA High Point 2-3 Year Old Trail Filly/Geldings division. She had also been bred to SRF's Silver Sundown. Please keep these folks in your thoughts. We get close to our horses as they learn and grow right along with us. We will keep Dale and Edwina in our thoughts remembering this sad loss.
