Flash has been a super star this year!!!  He was great at the Missouri State Fair – I am attaching the pictures that were sent to me just yesterday.  But you’ll really love this – Flash and Courtney placed FIRST in Hunter Seat Equitation at the American Royal Youth Show at the first of October.  Can you believe it – he was just doing walk trot this time last year and now the boy is winning at the big American Royal Show.  We absolutely love this horse – he is truly a treasure to our family.   He placed in all three events at the Royal, 10^th in Showmanship (the one event we are going to perfect next year), 8^th in Western Horsemanship

 Now for my year end awards at the PTSC circuit – this is unbelievable also.  Flash and I were High Point Performance in the May and July show, reserve High Point in the July and September show, High Point winners in Showmanship, English Pleasure, Horsemanship, Western Pleasure and Trail.  Every event I put him in, we were High Point winners!!       I got so many compliments on him at the American Royal, especially about his quietness and sweet disposition.  No one could believe he was only 4 years old!!
