Prince Charming & Mary Catherine Win BLUE!


This a pre-class photos of Mary Catherine and Charming and her friend Chase and his pony. They are good buds!

Mary Catherine and Prince Charming made their show ring debut at the Florence Charity Horse Show June 5th in the Tot's Lead In Class. Thank goodness for Aunt Jenny McLaughlin who helped out by leading the team to victory. Mommy no longer fits in her riding clothes since baby rawlinson is on the way. Our new ridding pants (from last fall) are getting a bit snug but we made it through this show and will have them let out before the next show in Asheville on July 9th & 10th.

Mary Catherine and Charming had their own little fan club at the show to cheer them on. Attending were: Pop Pop, Aunt Pam, Aunt Sissy, Gaga, Henry & Nevitte Swink, the entire crew of customers from Wildwood Farms, Aunt Flo & Uncle Jay Vinson, Jen Jen and Mrs. Polly Lester.

Just before the class, it started raining. It did not delay the show as it was just a light sprinkle. We got wet and thought it was really cool that Mommy let us stay outin the rain. Aunt Jenny will have to post all of the cute things we did and said to her during the class but the photographer for the show said---"Mary Catherine's expressions were just cracking me up!" She got some really great shots of she and Charming. You can go to her website www.debbush.com view or order them if you are interested.

After winning a blue, we decided it would be cute to ride out of the ring with our eyes closed. We think it was a combination of not wanting to see everyone cheering or to scare her Mother absolutely to death! We have not confirmed Mary Catherine's reasoning behind the eye closing thing yet.

Special thanks to everyone who came to watch and to everyone who helped make the day so special!
