*Voting for the "Fan Favorite" and "Grand Prize" begins in a month!* *If the "Say Cheese...Please" card that Oliver is on wins, $250 will be donated to SHRINERS Hospital. Get ready to start voting... To set up a voting account you can email me your email address at [email protected] and I can get it going for you!*

It's such an honor to have him on a card! But doesn't every "horse person" here have a little "Competitive Edge?" Mom's Bio of her farm are on the back of every card sold, and online! Let's show Hallmark how the "mini people" do things! LOL

Okay, so just a quick note from a very proud mommy. My son Oliver, who just turned 1 year old, is featured on a HALLMARK Father's Day Card! Take a look!

Thousands entered and only 12 were chosen! He's the ONLY one from the NW, well west coast for that matter!

Anyways, just sharing!
