Courtney and Peanut her POA gelding in her first riding classes at the Intl show. Three cuts (20 to 24 in ea. cut- her cut had 23) in Sr. Western Pleasure; 3RD in her 8 and Under Western Pl. class; 4TH in 8 and under Showmanship.  We were tearfully proud of her handling her horse and herself in a huge class of mostly late teenage kids.  Courtney is 8 yrs old-Pic taken 7/09. "Kato" and his "kid boss" Courtney and her little sister Claire. Expressions on their faces need no futher explanations!!	Happy Courtney doing what she loves to do....Precious memories for me.
