SHOWS 2008 AND FUTURITY 2007

**THANKS TO ALL OUR CLIENTS AND OUR TEAM FOR MAKING 2007 A GREAT SUCCESS**

APRIL 2008 Mike and assistant Brandon went to the NRBC show in Katy, Texas and Mike made it back to the finals on Gunners Doll, a very nice 5 year old mare by Gunner out of Mifs Doll belonging to Philippe and Catherine Castel of France. He had an unfortunate draw in the finals being number 2 to go but had a good run to win over $5000 on this big stopping little mare.

Whilst Mike was at the NRBC, the rest of the gang went to the SERHA Spring Celcebration in  Williamston, NC. Peter rode Johnny and Trudy Brooks' Smart Little Cielo to a win in the Open and Intermediate Open class and then showed her again to get reserve Open champion after a run off on Sunday. Cam Hollowell showed Jim O Neil's mare Smartys Little Jewel  to a first place in the Rookie Professional. Victor Gilson showed his own Coyote Secret Spirit to a very good 4th place in the Non Pro Derby marking a 143. His wife Flo watched him for the first time ever and was more nervous than Victor!

MARCH 2008 The Wimpys Little Step Derby took place in Murfreesboro Tennessee and Mike showed Wimpys Smart Doc for Jimmy Pierce. He scored a 221 in the open class to place Top 10 and win over $2500. Mike and Peter then headed straight to Gordyville, Illinois where Mike showed Hollywood Aces for Jimmy Pierce to a money earning place in both the Gordyville Breeders Cup and the Open To The World Derby. Peter DeFreitas had a very nice run on Custom AR Jessie to mark a 217 and place in the Intermediate Open Derby.

NRHA FUTURITY 2007 This year saw us again very well situated in Barn 6 at the futurity and we had a good show. Mike made the finals on Hilldale Farm's Helluva Chex and only just missed the finals on Mike and Nathalie's and Greenway Stable's Rio Good Wrangler. He went on to add just over $6000 to Helluva Chex's earnings in the finals. This horse will be shown in 2008 in the non pro by Jessicah Keller. Nathalie had a great show on her mare Mark Me Big who she only got to ride just before the show and did very well. This big stopping mare made the Ltd Non Pro finals and then went on to get 4th in the finals earning a little over $3200 - well done Nathalie! We had plenty of visitors at the show, both local and international and it was great to see everyone. We are very much looking forward to working with our clients in 2008 and showing in the Derbies early next year.
