We've been showing and attending training clinics. Megan, Bill and Devin went to a fantastic reining clinic with Shawn Flarida. Wow. Highlights: When Shawn talked about horses that he would buy based on conformation, attitude and breeding, he said he'd "take the paint horse any day" meaning Bubba... Click here to see...

We also went to a really great clinic with Tom Foran, AQHA World Champion. He was really great too. One thing he said: You channel your body position to your horse. So if you slouch, your horse won't move correctly either. Click here to see...

May, 2008 WSRHA Spring Slide - in the middle of the busy breeding season, we went to an NRHA show. Devin won money on Spinning Dream and had a very fancy ride.

You could feel the breeze off the snow drifts up on the Flat Top Mts - and this is May!?!?!

One vet even offered to buy the little girl but she is not for sale...
