TWO SPECIAL BLESSINGS

We have two very special young women in our lives and I thank my stars for them every day.  They have always been good children, good adolescents and now they  have graduated
high school with honors, AND starting
at University this fall. 
Ignore me I am a doting auntie!

Karly, Robin, Taylr
 
I am so proud of the way they turned out, and their mother did a great job raising them and giving them a great sense of who they are.

It just seems impossible that they are not the babies, who are twins, we loved so much.

Karly spent this month of June showing her
paint gelding "Spot" at the Pinto World Show in Tulsa, OK and then on to the Paint World Show in Ft. Worth, Tx.  
Taylr came along this time and has decided she is going to follow suite and start showing again also. Her activity has been cheer leading but now she has decided to give it a go again since she had so much fun at the shows this month.

 Karly started riding Spot as a 2 year old, trained him herself and she has competed for the past 3 years on him at the World level.
Spot is a 5 year old now, so his winnings are very impressive for such a young horse, but he is such a sweet gentleman!

Karly was 7th in Western Plesure  at the APHA World show

add to that this year's Pinto World finishes; 3rd in Trail, 

Reserve World Champion Ideal Pinto Western Horse (which they won the last two years),

Reserve World Champion Pinto World Western Pleasure (which they won last year), 

and 

Pinto World Champion Disciplined Rail. 

All the hard work has paid off and it couldn't have happened to a NICER young woman!

Next year we will be looking forward to cheering Taylr on also!

WhooooHoooooooo

This past week was the World Pinto Show being held in Tulsa Oklahoma and my cousins bring their show string in from Kentucky to participate there and then go on to the World Youth Paint Horse Show in Ft. Worth which is starting this week.



Karly rides and loves her Gelding Cool N Candid aka Spot. I just love his head and the way he is always watching everything going on and how alert he alway is.






This year Karly defended her Sr.Youth World Champion in Western Pleasure and then the next day went back to win Sr. Youth World Champion in Ideal Pinto and then 5th in the World in Disciplined Rail on her beloved Spot. We are all so proud of them both!!!!!












We always have a big time watching Karly show her horse and usually a yearling comes along for halter, this year it was Scooter the yearling. This is big boy Scooter












It's a hot job but somebody has to do it! :)







She cleans up pretty well too!





We had a very productive photo shoot at Woodward Park in Tulsa Monday night before they headed out to Ft. Worth. I wish Karly all the luck and I wish we could have gone down with her!!!
