We finished as Reserve Champions. I was so happy with him! :D

Tiffani,
Could you please send me a copy of that pic by email so I can post it on the midwestaot forum? thanks!! He looks great! I missed the driving class, but did see you under saddle, what a great aot debut! mfuller2520@yahoo.com

Great picture and very well turned out! Pretty horse and pretty cart!

Thanks! Thank god twenty-plus years grooming horses has taught me SOMETHING LOL! I can make one shiny. Not bad for a little ol' AOT. :)

He gets his shoes off on Friday and will begin a new life as a trail horse (for a few months anyways). I hope he enjoys the break! He is truly all "show horse" and I'm not sure how he'll take to trail riding. No one will be applauding or whistling at him LOL. :euro:

Was that at Ledges this past weekend? That definately is not the most user friendly ring/warm-up for driving. Congrats!

Yes, that was at Ledges. He handled the small warmup just fine thankfully! He's such a wonderful boy. :wub:

Tiffani,

You go girl. He looks great. How old is he?

[vlayne]

He's a youthful ten! :D

I agree with Walt. Whatever you are doing, keep it up, best I have ever seen him since he arrived in the Midwest! He certainly looks happy.

[vlayne]

Thanks! I'm lucky to have Dennis! He's been very helpful in giving me tips on how to work him. And he's now had five months of work to get back in show shape - it's coming back to him. Those first couple of months he sure was a project!

I realize I'm late viewing your photo - I don't often get over to this forum. But I wanted to tell you he looks really great. I applaud you for your accomplishment as an AOT. It is more than I would want to tackle at this stage in my life! Congratuations on your reserve championship!
