> Congratulations to all the winners. Nice photos on your website. I can just picture your son thinking it was more fun to knock over the cones than go between them. He is a lucky boy having a horse loving family. It is 5 degrees in WI as I write this. Lori
> Hi everyone. We had our first driving show of the year this past
> Saturday at beautiful Windy Knoll Farm, in Sullivan, Ohio. An ADT
> (Arena Drive Trial) Lot's of firsts for the family. Mike drove his
> newest Haflinger, who has a wonderful career as a hitch horse, but when
> our first and second string driving horses got laid up for various
> reasons, he headed out to the gelding field and pulled this guy in.
> They made it through the event, even pulling a 4th place out of 14 I
> think in the hazard section. Dressage score was terrible, great judge,
> Muffy Seaton from Aiken, SC, but hitch horse turn dressage horse in less
> than three weeks does not equal a great score. Lots to work on, but
> lots of fun.
>
> Then, my mom, drove in her first ever ADT with Tucker, Johnathan's
> mini. She had a great time and finished with 3rd and 2nd places.
>
> However my personal highlight was our four year old son, Johnathan,
> who drove Tucker in the youth division for the very first time. It was
> so much fun and so cute. That little mini is the best thing ever, and
> JD made it through the entire dressage test, although when he stopped to
> salute, he put the lines in one hand, along with his whip, but when he
> took his cap off for the salute, he moved his hand with the whip in it,
> and little Tucker started trotting! :) I had to stop Tucker until
> Johnathan could get everything back together. The final salute was
> great. Then the cones course we walked most of it with a little trot
> here and there. Johnathan knows his numbers by sight through 11, but
> there were 14, so I was explaining where we were going. It was great,
> until he figured out that he could hit the cone and the ball would fall
> off and roll, and then THAT was WAY better than going through them! :)
> Ha!

> I was personal groom, no showing for me, which was interesting, but
> lots of fun. Lots of Haflingers at the show! There are pictures at our
> website www.hfbhaflingers.com <http://www.hfbhaflingers.com> under
> shows 2010. No pictures of Mike and his gelding, I took video of him so
> we could watch it and work on things, but mom and JD have pictures.
> Thanks for letting me share!!!
