I am setting up an American Driving Society Booth at Nationals again this year. Like last year, I will only be there Fri-Mon and then again back for the second weekend. I would love help at the booth--it helps so much if someone is there to answer questions. Any ADS people going to be there...

I'm going to Congress for the first time, and will be doing the Classic Carriage Driving Class. There are a bunch of really cool Carriage classes in the rulebook that I have never seen offered at a breed show--does anyone ever offer them? I was really hoping they would be at a National level...

The weather cooperated up until the last 30 min of the show (hey, I was done and up at the barn ), the VSE turnout was great, the grounds are amazing, and they fed us wonderful food!! Al B and his lovely wife Susan were there--I hope Al has some pictures of the 4 in hand he was driving, and...

Wow, reading about the weather and the mess it's made for many of you makes me thankfulfor being spared down here!! I've been having "female problems" for a long time along with other health issues--losing 50# helped the diabetes and high blood pressure dramatically, but a uterine ablation...

I saw Janie Amdal (Chimacum Tack) at the Spooker and she looks GREAT--she has lost 50#. I was at 45# at that point, and we had a good time talking about all the things we can do now, like look down and see our toes! My little boarder Ashley weighs 95#, and we were joking that together we have...

Yay!! The rest of the pictures came today! I thought Patty looked so sharp in her Dressage coat and top hat, with a white shirt and orange striped tie for turnout. Sunny is wearing her beautiful CDE leather harness from Ozark and hooked to the Jerald with 30" wood wheels and the patent boot...

There could not have been a prettier fall weekend for 46 horses (OK, more if you count the pairs) and their enthusiastic drivers. Lots of newcomers and new horses, great organization, tons of fabulous volunteers, good food and a chance to do all of this with my daughter. We had our horses with...

Jan and Cari have sent these pictures for all you Kaylee supporters, and want to say how much all your positive feedback and energy means to kaylee. Here are some shots of them practicing plus a few from the NM State Fair on Wed. I cannot WAIT until next weekend!! Apparently this is NM...

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...

So many of us are doing ADS events now--Carriage Driving Shows, HDT's (Horse Driving Trials), CDE's (Combined Driving Events), and there is more crossover to the breed shows. Keely's thread was great to show the differences you have to be aware of, so I'd love you guys to show off your...

A couple of weeks ago we descended on Al B and his ever patient wife Susan for the Pine Hill Pleasure Driving Show. Blue has been much slower maturing mentally than my minis, but what a fun trip it is! He did great at all his classes. There was Pleasure Driving, Dressage, Turnout, 3 different...

Mike knows I can't live without my minis, even though they have been a thorn in our marriage. He compares them to a gambling addiction, and he feels showing any interest or support would be enabling me. His biggest problem is the showing, and all the money i spend to have other people's kids...

I did this as tounge in cheek before we left to go out to dinner--just watched "Knocked Up" this past weekend. I am overwhelmed by your show of support--you guys are the best. Elle is the 2 year old daughter of my multiple Champion mare SR Desert Sun; Ray is the 2 year old son of Stoney Ridge...

She is my beautiful blond--so smart, so pretty, so good at everything she does. I've tried to instill good values, and always set strict limits for her and all the kids who hang out here. Elle is usually with her best friend Crystal, and they can talk for hours. She is very close to Patty...

Gorgeous fall weather (around 80) No dress code--except no open toed shoes (and most of us wear helmets) no clipping or make up (on the horses ) 28" minis to Clydes and everything in between laid back fun loving horse people all out to enjoy friends, horses, and good driving well run with...

We had a great Spooker--took 6 minis, Blue, and 3 girls. Blue has taken much longer to "grow up" than any of my minis--don't know if it's just him or Shetlands in general (my last Shetland I got at the age of 15 ) Anyways, he went Sr Champion Foundation Gelding under both judges, then went...

This past weekend there were almost fifty horses and ponies representing 15 breeds at the 7th Annual Cedar Creek Pleasure Driving Show in Greenville, TX. It POURED for several hours on Sat during Cones but the judge said if he could see the horses, we'd keep driving. At least we had a covered...

I love this gelding. I did some horse trading to get him from Robby Barth, and he has been so much fum. However, his heart is much bigger than his brain; he has LOTS of OMG moments when driving. Seems the world is full of boogeymen just waiting to get an unsuspecting pony. Blue had his...

It was a fun--and HOT--show. This year I'm not showing AMHR, I'm grooming for Patty. Sunny, Blue and I are hitting the ADS shows around here instead. Patty was High Point Miniature Youth for the Area Show, and we got Sunny's final Stakes win for her Hall of Fame in Roadster. Enjoy the...

Went through all our pictures from last weekend, and there is not ONE of Al or Susan. Since we all competed in VSE and didn't bring our cameras down I can sort of understand it, but still!! Al and Susan are the NICEST people and let us stay with them for the weekend. They have a wonderful...
