Ashlee did great at the QUarter Horse Futurity!!



We are back from lovely Windom, MN where Ashlee participated in her first Quarter Horse Show!! My sister Kari flew up from houston, where my mom did not get power for 7 days from the hurricane, but she has it now!! I have attached pics and I will also post a video!! Ashlee was the youngest in the class and rode in the Amateur 2 yr old (Henry's age) Western pleasure class!! She received a Top 10 standing placing 7th overall in the class!! We were so excited for her!! We had a wonderful time admiring everyone's horses, tack and show clothing!!! We also were able to attend a very fun BBQ thrown by the gentleman who sold us Henry!! Lots of horse people and horses!! We loved it!! We came back home Sat and had a BBQ and then we celebrated Mike and kari's birthdays with a big family party!! Kari went home this morning and I miss her so much!! I hope she and my mom move back!!
