Summer so far

Summer is in full swing and we have had a busy year so far. Congratulations to Amy on her first circuit win at the NHQHA show and Lindsey Slack for her first AQHA all around with Image of Asset. Kacy is having a great first year on the AQHA circuit with Cashing In The Chips. The Big Country earned his first AQHA points in his first AQHA trail class also, Mr Big’s owned by Susan O’Connell. Claire and Molly have had a great year, Claire and her horse Mr Pine Bar Diamond earned the highest trail score of the day for all divisions at the Presidents circuit! Lindsay Wheeler is having a great first season with her 3yr old Sweet Talkin Ruby! Let’s keep up the good work!

Update from the Presidents Circuit in Sorel, Quebec, Canada

Quick update from the John Deer Presidents Circuit in Sorel, Quebec, Canada:

Yesterday was a LONG day from trail to Historical Showmanship.

Big got through big kid trail, and Luka went into her first HUS classes and pinned 2nd, 2 4ths, 6th. Not bad for her first show and only 3 weeks of work! Point earner at her fist show! Way to go Luka!

Kacy, Claire, Molly, Lindsey are doing great.

Paige is enjoying her first AQHA show.

Great job so far Ladies.
