We had a great time at Congress this year! I love seeing my horse show family, and our horses placed quite nicely also.

He is beautiful and I love watching him drive.

Hey Lisa,

Cindy and I were talking and we will trade a Congress Grand Champion Mare for one little measly crumb crusher! LOL

Your daughter was a blast for Cindy to help with, she really enjoyed it.

I also really enjoyed Mike & your company. Great results and a lot of fun. See you at R Nationals, I hope.

I'm pretty sure the only way Frank will move to Minnesota is if Mike goes to... Watch out what you wish for! LOL! Thank you for the compliment; Frank truly is a unique pony..

John~ Please tell Cindy THANK YOU again for me. She was a huge help with the little crumb crusher! Mike and I also really enjoyed getting to visit with you and Cindy.

You will definitely be seeing all of again us at R Nationals!

I'm sorry to have missed the costume class!! Isabella must have been adorable.

I am looking forward to her and Sienna growing up together and competing in youth together.

I also meant to get a picture of the two of them together.

Maybe we can do one at AMHR Nationals ?

 

[JWC sr.]

Isabella is a cutie and really very good for a baby that age. She only got fussy when it was time for Momma to feed her. Thanks goodness she looks like her momma and not her daddy. LOL

It was funny watching Mike try to make a bottle for her and keep an eye on the ring while Lisa was showing. He was stressing just a little bit. But he got thru with flying colors. Something I am not sure I could have done at his age, when we were raising our kids.

See everyone at Nationals!
