We attended the keuring in Huntersville, NC yesterday and we had quite a good day!
First, thanks to the keuring hosts and organizers at Shady Nook Farm, as well as to Rick Simonetti who came down to help out. Everyone was just great.
Our horses had a wonderful day! Tara (Wander x Thomas), the 3 year old, became a ster mare with a 2nd premie and was second place in her large class of 3 year olds. She moved wonderfully, though she was a bit nervous. I thought she was gorgeous. Big thanks the Wiebe and Amy Dragstra of Dragstra Stables. As her trainers, they had her fit and happy and I do not think Tara could have performed much better.
Ficus (Mintse x Wierd), my sister's colt who lost his momma in foalbirth this year, ran with my parents mare Hiltje. Hiltje is the alpha mare of the herd and she adopted Ficus. Anyway, Ficus got a 2nd premie and scored 7.5 on his trot!
Finally, the filly Freya (Heinse x Wander) was a hand full but once we got her in the ring she did a nice job. She received a 2nd premie and took Champion Filly honors for the day.
We left the grounds dirty, sweaty and exhausted. But happy and feeling fortunate.
I will work on pictures and video etc. as soon as I can. Also, the Tanbark Acres website is in desperate need of updating. That will be a top priority. But until the weekend comes and there is time for those things, I believe I will just sit back and watch my horses grazing in the pasture. Healthy, happy and lovely.
