United Palomino White Buckskin and Dun Winter Woolies Gymkhana- 2nd July 06

Kris, Cass and Maryanne competed at the first Gymkhana for the 2006/07 season. A fun day was had by everyone. The weather held off and they even saw sunshine for a brief moment. Balavan (Red) and Love in Motion (Tia) performed very well as always and Abbadon (Benny) made his first appearance in the show ring. Much to Abbadon's credit he behaved extremely well for a young 3 yr old and even won a couple of ribbons, (Kris just needs to grow longer legs or learn to run faster, cause boy does he have a huge stride). Photos to come
