Mary Catherine Shows Lou Holtz

Mary Catherine and Lou Holtz made their show ring debut at The Florence Charity Horse show. The show was held in memory of DaDaddy Mac. Mary Catherine was asked to carry the Flag on Lou. She looked so cute in her little blue riding coat. Those pigtails (Mary Catherine prefers we call them--PONYTAILS) were just precious with little white bows on them. Aunt Sissy and mommy had matching coats and they assisted. Lou behaved like a perfect gentleman. After opening ceremonies, they showed back in the leadline class. Mary Catherine and Lou got first place. Mary Catherine made it about 3/4 of the way around the ring and like the organ music so much, she just dropped the reins and did a little dance with her hands in the air. The crowd went wild! Good thing Mommy was holding the pony and Aunt Celia was holding Mary Catherine's back. It was so much fun. We think this will be the first of many show ring performances for this young equestrian.
