Hauling in for the one day
show was tiring, but thanks to the Black Forest Shires & Gypsy Horse
crew's hospitality, we had a wonderful visit while overnighting at
BFSGH's fabulous new Wildcat Ranch facility in Platteville. Thanks
to Jeff & Christine Bartko for hosting our Shires the day before and
during this show. Buck, Ben, Dick, Griff, Emma & Aimee had a great
showing for their first competition of the season. Michelle Simono
also accompanied us with her mare, Emma.
Another thank you to
Victoria Hauser for driving up from Pueblo and giving us a hand.
Special thanks and
recognition to our new and lovely Junior Driver, Cassie Colby
who did an outstanding job in her very first show! For more
pics of our newest teamster, check out
Cassie's Page!
Enjoy the photos!
What a great show!
