 The Show(s)!

We had a fantastic State fair, showing in 4 rings.  Mimosa Mist finished her permanent championship wining Grand in three of four rings, and champion challenge in two rings, her daughters Asia and April did exceptionally well also, alternately placing first in all 4 rings.  We are so impressed with the doelings Zoombak is throwing.  He had 5 month old daughters take grand in 2 of 4 rings and reserve grand in 3 of 4 rings, all of these over some pretty competitive dry yearlings!
