NRBC 2008

We had a great show and an even better time this year at the NRBC in Katy, Texas. Although Spence Bell and
Sue had tough luck in the Classic Go Round and didn't make it back to the finals they both did a great job
and are looking forward to making up for it at the Derby.

Congatulations to Julie Vosberg showing her new mare Magnifichic to a 6th Place finish in the Limited Non Pro Class as well as 3rd in the AQHA Ameteur Select Class. These two haven't had a whole lot of time together in the saddle, but proved by the end of the show that they are going to make a great team in the future.

The same goes for Kerry Newell who placed 2nd in the Intermediate Non Pro Class and 5th in the Non Pro as well as 4th in the Open Junior Reining.Kerry and Hailstorm Jaci won over $820.00 at the NRBC and are primed to do some damage at the Derby in June.

And finally thank you very much to Deb Waskowiak for trusting me to show your new show mare Vintage Badger Dunit. We placed 5th in the Classic Limited Open Finals and walked away with over $4,000.00. I only wish you could have been there.

Febuary 2008

Oklahoma Ride and Slide

Although it was VERY cold at times , we had a great show in Tulsa this year. Sue showed both Custom Showtime and Vintage Badger Dunit, tying herself to win the Limited Open Derby Championship. (The tough part is deciding who gets which half of the Morrison bronze!)

Dave showed KMZ Smart Starlight placing 3rd in the Intermediate Open class and 4th in the Novice Horse. She is really turning into a great little show horse.

...And Congratulations to Kory Rozell on surviving his first NRHA show and more importantly for STAYING ON PATTERN! (one step at a time man)

January 2008

Congratulations to Grady Kimbrell on his purchase of Jacs Shing Fancy. Good luck with this outstanding broodmare.

We would also like to announce that Sue has finally decided that she likes me (Dave) enough to marry me! On Christmas day 2007 I asked her on the edge of a very high cliff in Kodiak, Alaska and she said "Yes". (Good thing she did too because if she'd said "no" one of us was going off that cliff!) We of course don't like to rush into anything so we have decided that the ceremony will not take place until January 2009. I hear weddings are expensive so please visit our Sales page and pick something out you like! :)

2007 NRHA Futurity

Congatulations to Deb Waskowiak on her purchase of Vintage Badger Dunit! I guess you did get to keep her
after all! Good luck this year with your new horse!

I would also like to thank and wish luck to Ron Maruska, who bought Jac N Dreams; Donnie Bricker, who
bought Sayos Vaqueroette; and Alejandro Castaveda, who bought Electrickory. I hope you all win a ton on them!
