The End to a Good Year

We ended our "season" this past weekend - the horse show season runs Dec. 1st through Nov. 30th though most call it quits by early November.  It was, overall, a very good year.

Baby April made her debut in the summer and has had some time off in recent months but we expect her to be in full form for the Pre-Greens by early 2012.  Trainer Gordon has done a great job with her this year and she shows great promise.

As I once saw in a window on K Street in downtown in DC, she'll be "tanned, rested and ready," although the t-shirt was referring to Richard Nixon.

Mr. Alfie overcame an injury that knocked him out over half of the year but he came back and had some good moments later in the season.  We are expecting great things from him next year as he begins to step into Sega's big shoes when she finally decides to call it quits and retire.

And Sega had a banner year, proving again to all that know her that she is indeed the queen.  She keeps amazing us all.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that she has it in her for another one next year. At 17 she is better than ever!
