One Proud Mother............

Gia has such a huge smile on her face and don't you know it, so does the Mom! Kellie has every reason to be proud of Gia. All of her leads were correct, she jumped a perfect course when she needed to, and came home sporting a nice pink ribbon for a 5th place finish. Not too shabby considering the classes were so big, they had to be split into two for the flat work.

Gia also has this huge grin on her face because she won the BLUE RIBBON for pole bending! Go figure!!!! Way to go Gia and J.P.!!! She had so much fun in the 11 and under that she then competed again in the youth pole bending ~ she placed 5th in that one. Wow! What a great show Gia!

Happy Birthday to you!!!!

We just could not let the week go by without having a special celebration for Kellie! We had a birthday party for her the day after her birthday ~ we wanted her to think that we had forgotten, when in fact we had something special planned. As you can see in the picture in the margin to the right, we had a lot of people show up for her special night!
She was SO SURPRISED!!! In order to make sure that she arrived AFTER the rest of us, I had her go and pick up her own special pizza from NYPD while the rest of us ate a different kind of pizza. Then I made her go in the feed room door and walk straight in to all of the guests waiting to greet her! Thank you all for sharing this special day and making it fun for Kellie. Sara and Bailey, you did a wonderful job on the decorations too!

Poetry in Motion--Literally!!

What can I say....Jack and Sara are a beautiful
couple! Shhhh....don't let Badger find out!

Wow! What a pair!!

Gia and JP hanging out and doing a little jumping at home!

Sara & Jack

Here's the picture of Sara jumping Jack at the Middleton Fun Show. We really didn't think Jack aka "Poetry In Motion" could jump too high, but this was 2' 3" and he cleared it with ease! Obviously he hated the flowers at the jump and did not want them to touch him!

Now we know his little secret!

We are hoping for a good showing at the next show we attend, as we will be using Jack for the Hunter classes. Badger will be "saved" for Jumper only.
