Final day







The final week of showing for Shelby and Telly. They travel home with Lori, Christine, Brie, and Ali. I will stay for another week with Steph and family. Congrats for a great two weeks. This week was a huge success with two championships and one reserve championship for Shelby and a championship for Telly. There will be no blogging as my computer is not in operation so there will be some final thoughts once I get home. Take care, Trish

Many faces of Telly.






















Okay some of these shots may be disturbing. She is trying to take over Ali's role of best assortment of faces. Beware!

Cantina
















More ribbons for the WG riders today. Celebration in La Cantina with the Karaoke and Pizza night.

Ode To Victor







You clean our stalls.



You feed our horses.



You wash their legs



When we're finished their courses.






I am late for my class.



Oh no! What to do?



I look in the stall



It's Victor to the rescue.






The suds they do fly



In the blink of an eye



The tack is all clean



To a mighty sheen.






The horses he bathes



For all of us saves



Our clothes from the drier



Keeping spirits much higher.






Through rain sun and snow



The answers you always know



The Spanish lessons are a plus



Mucho Gracious from all of us.






Thank you Victor for making our trip extra special and looking after our horses so well. We will miss you.

More stuff











More ribbons for the Willow Grove clan today. Jumpers once again got to show in the Grand Prix ring. A nice treat. Power & Speed with many jumps and touring all over the ring. The Tucson wind was with us for most of the morning. Cuts down on the exfoliating that needs to be done on our skin. Sandblasting is definitely an alternative.

Chuy's
















The end of Week 3 ended in a celebration at the famous Chuy's Mexican restaurant. Much sillyness was had by all.
