YES, in spite of the rain - we had a wonderful show. It was such fun to have Walt & Fran with us for the day -- I think they have become honorary Canadians.
Sorry I took so long to reply here -- spent most of today with my mom at hospital-- she had a slight stroke -- but was able to go home again -- she turned 94 on AUg 1st & still lives in her own apartment so we are very blessed.
I got some nice pictures of Walt driving Filipowicz Entertaining The Foulks . He looks darn good in the cart -- I will try to post one on here ( Joe isn't here to guide me so may not work )
Leeanna -- I drove ET for the first time in Ashland & got a 3rd place so was pleased -- yesterday was only our 2nd time in the show ring . He is only 3 this year os he is doing fantastic. So is Finny.
Fran forgot to mention -- FILIPOWICZ FOULK LORE was the Champion mare fo the day & Maybe?? Gr Ch mare -- I am not sure about that . LORE is owned by John & Arlene McCallum.
FILIPOWICZ ENTERTAINING THE FOULKS was the Ch Senior Stallion as well as the Grand Champion Stallion --(Murray's)
FILIPOWICZ GRAND FINALE was Reserve Senior Ch Stallion as well as Reserve Grand Champion Stallion, (Murray's)
FILIPOWICZ THAT'S HIGH SOCIETY (DEB) won Current mare foal of the current year. (Murrays')
So Walt & Fran picked a good day to come to Canada for a show & see their horses doing great in the ring.
We will be thrilled if they come & bring a horse next year.
Joseph was unable ot be with us to shwo yesterday as he was playing the Provincial Finals in a Lacrosse tournament. THeir team won the Provincial Title so they are have a celebration party tonight. He should be back on the job tomorrow to get ready for Hanover sanctioned show next Saturday.
Will see if I can do a picture here now.
