back in the saddle...

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

For years Shelli and Summer blew away the competition in the 4H circuit as an indomitable team. Shelli has been on sabbatical for a few years while she was attending college, however Summer has continued her all-star form with a new rider. Well, they're back. Shelli is back in the saddle and Summer was certainly glad to have her as they completely stole the show a few weekends ago cleaning house with 4 first place awards, a second place and a third place. They were both so excited they even did a little pole dance for the audience (if you weren't there you'll have to ask Shelli, and its not what you might think).  It was incredible to see Shelli back atop Summer and to watch how graceful and powerful of a team they make; it was beautiful. Shelli plans on training their other horse Milly to jump this next year and get her ready to take the world by storm. Shelli is an amazing and gifted rider, and Summer is an incredible and beautiful horse. Milly has a ton of potential and it is exciting to think about what lies ahead. So for now, may I just say great job to my wifey and to Summer for an incredible show.

Wow, that is so impressive! Congratulations, Shelli! You are my hero...so athletic and talented. I envy that!

Also wanted to wish you a belated happy anniversary! I keep thinking I need to tell you and I keep forgetting. Did you guys do anything fun to celebrate?

You guys have to come by my studio sometime...there are lots of pics of you guys, including the first photo that everyone sees when they walk thru the door, hanging over the couch (from wheeler farm)!
