You should brag, Jim and Slash did a great job. And what Maryann isn't saying is that this is a horse they bred, raised, trained and handled his entire life and did all of the training themselves. They really did themselves proud with this boy. Congratulations on all of your placings.

Oh- WELL DONE- those are brilliant results- you have every right to brag

 

[maryann]

Mini mom you are way too kind!!!! Thanks for all your help . We could not have done it without your encouragement. maryann

Hey Maryann,

I met you in the laundry room. I loved watching you and your husband show in Liberty...

Reminded me of me and my husband. Your horses were beautiful and you guys did a great job showing...

So keep on bragging!

[maryann]

Oh yes you had to bring that up

Liberty was definately not our strong suit. Slash ran beautifully but we had that one little glitch......... Catching him. That is the first time ever we could not catch him. I am sure you could see that it was my fault. At least that is what Jim says

and I am pretty sure its his fault. LOL we had such a good time and really enjoyed meeting you over laundry. Hope we meet again soon. maryann

I do not mean to diminish anybody by what I am about to say or create any hard feelings but the record of people with a home bred, home raised, home schooled, amateur owner driven, at a FIRST show to me is more impressive than if they had hired professional trainers groomers and handlers and turned it into a grand champion. My hat is off to you

 

[ChrystalPaths]

I tend to agree Vic, and I can't believe anyone will take offense. To breed 2 horses get a sweet baby, then raise that baby, then train that baby, then show that baby, then take that baby to Nationals and place in the top 10 is IMHO amazing and deserves a standing ovation. VERY handsome boy!

 

[countryrose]

I agree, doing it all yourself is SO rewarding and to be applauded.

That boy can really fly over those jumps.

 

[Jill]

Do brag because we want to hear!!!!!!!!! I love the collage and congratulations big time on those results!!!!!!!!

 

[MyLilShowGirl]

That is AWESOME Maryann! What great placings-you have a right to brag

And, I agree with justaboutgeese.....the best kind is one that you have trained, bred and shown all yourself

Congrats!!

[backwoodsnanny]

I also agree with all who have posted. To have that baby perform for you the way your boy did must be soooo rewarding and all on your own Congratulations It gives others hope that it is Possible.
