* We are very excited about Sophie, our new puppy. I need training

soooo
helpful. Sara (10/23/07)
* BIG Brag....below is Hannah & Lenci with the following from
her proud dad: Hannah has
taken "Winning Ways" very seriously and has become her training
bible. Spring '08 was a
great season for Hannah. She ran Lenci in the derby stakes. Two 1st
placements, a 2nd, a
3rd and a 4th! One of her "Blue's" came from a very competitive
16 dog stake. She will be
doing Junior Showmanship this fall (once she turns 9) and is starting to
train Lenci for Senior
Hunter. Hannah finished #5 in the country in '07 for Juniors in outdoor
field events. Not bad
for a 7, turned 8 in Aug of 07, year old! She had a win last year, 3
placements and a JH (all 4
legs), all on her own. Would you believe she started at five years old?
What an inspiration to
we older folks. Way to go Hannah!!! Troy (5/31/08)
