This is a modern day Fairy Tale.....
There was a little girl whose Aunt owned miniature horses. At 8, she could think of nothing more wonderful than getting to show a horse at the World Show. Sadly, her Aunt really didn't have a Youth horse to suit a small, inexperienced girl. And this is where a Fairy Godmother took charge. Aug 8 Aunt Jan saw an ad on the Lil Beginning sale board about a small show mare (SR Desert Mist) looking for a new friend while her owner was off to college (my daughter Patty). She contacted me immediately and it seemed like a match made in Heaven--Misty is 29", and a multi National Champion and Top 10 in Hunter, Jumper, Showmanship, Obstacle, Roadster, CP driving, and Halter, trained and shown by a Youth.
Alas, Misty is not registered AMHA. The Fairy Godmother kicked it into overdrive. Aug 7 I called Al_B, who directed me to Glen Matthews, our area director. Pam in Registrations at the AMHA office worked hand in hand with Mr Matthews. I faxed paperwork to the office Aug 11, drove Misty to Mr. Matthews ranch Aug 12, the DNA papers and sample were overnighted, and she had a Registration number on Aug 22--in time to get her registration in for World on Aug 25. A transporter was in the area and Misty, with her show cart, harness, and show halters was brought up to Bethany Franke's, where they picked her up and whisked her to Albuqueque Sept 1st.
The little girl Kaylee has had a couple of weekends to work with Misty--she lives in a small town a ways away. When the ladies at her church found out she was traveling to Ft Worth, but didn't have the clothes needed for a National Level show, they scheduled a Potluck dinner/sewing bee to make her a dress, showmanship outfit, and Roadster silks (I picture the mice and birds making the outfit for Cinderella, followed by the Fairy Godmother's wand
).
Aunt Jan says they are a perfect pair. Kaylee has a new favorite class--Roadster. She says Misty makes her feel like she is flying!
Please watch for them at World and wish Kaylee luck. She already has a Fairy Godmother in her corner!!!
A HUGE hug and thank you to Glen Matthews and the ladies at the AMHA office who helped make this possible
