Congratulations Ernie!
Not only have you achieved perfect attendance for the 2008 Level 1 clinic series but you have turned out to be a very nice equine citizen and you are pretty cute under saddle as well.
Job well done Tonda, all your horses are a testimony to all your hard work and dedication.
We'll see you in the spring at Level 2!

The kids looked great at their Showmanship Clinic on May 9th. Good job everybody!! Remember-square those horses up every time you stop, hands up in front like holding a pizza, and stand with your feet together. Practice, practice, practice. Showmanship is all the time, not just show time. Every time you get your horse out of his stall you are training him. Even if you are just taking him out to his pasture, it counts as practice. Do those turns and square them up before you turn them loose or before they go for their grain. Good luck at your show!!
