Open shows are always a ball and the "Over The Hill" Northwest Saddle Club show was
just that.  Jenny and Natalie ventured over to North Branch for this large open show.  
Jenny showed Baron to a good third in the Open Saddleseat Pleasure class and a tougher
fifth in the Open Saddleseat Equitation class.  Natalie showed Murray to a second place
ribbon in the Open Saddleseat Pleasure class and a third in the Open Saddleseat
Equitation class.

Tanbark was perhaps even more fun this year than last.  One of Nicole's students,
Jordan Inman, showed Baron in the academy division.  In Jordan's third ride on Baron
they picked up a second place ribbon in  Academy Equitation 14 and over.  Next was a
win in the Academy Pleasure 14 and Over class and then a Grand Championship in the
Academy Equitation 14 and Over Championship.  Congratulations Jordan!  Nalla quickly
learned from her first show and proved it as she took home the blue against seven tough
competitors in the UPHA Park Pleasure 3 and Under class.  What a fun class that was!

Summerfest proved to be a rewarding show for Jenny and Baron.  They proved they
could show with the best of them as they trotted out of the arena with the Reserve
Grand Champion ribbon in the Open English Pleasure class for Novice Riders.  Nalla
made her show ring debut in the Open Park Pleasure division.  With just a few mistakes
she is proving to be the one to watch for this season.

F.A.S.H. was our second show of the 2008 season and Jenny was our only competitor
able to show.  Jenny certainly made all of the hard work worth while with this being her
first show out of academy.  Jenny showed Baron to great ribbons in Open English
Pleasure and Country Pleasure, with each class getting stronger and stronger.  Jenny
picked up a sixth place ribbon in the Open English Pleasure Novice Rider class and an
impressive forth place out of twelve riders in that championship class.

Foster Farm is all moved in!  We have moved the horses back home to Isanti and have
started giving lessons once again.  We are building and building as quick as we can to
get back to a full work load with the horses and riders.  Now it's time to organize and
get everything unpacked!

The first show of the 2008 season was the Riders and Ribbons Academy Show, held in
Cannon Falls.  Foster Farm had three strong riders to enter in this winter show. Jenny  
picked up some great second place ribbons on Baron in both Pleasure and Equitation for
riders 14 and Over, showing even stronger than they did last season.  Brand new to the
show ring were best friends Brandon and Andrew.  Both did a fabulous job for their first
time in the show ring with Brandon winning his pleasure class on Baron, picking up third
in his equitation class.  Andrew rode hard to pick up an impressive second in his
pleasure class on Manny and third in his equitation class.  Great job and thanks for
starting the season on such a great note!

Our last show of the 2007 season was the Octoberfest Horse Show in Cannon Falls.  
This may have been the most fun show of the year, with everyone enjoying themselves.
Ashley, Jenny, Brooke, Lexi, Lorenza and Natalie all showed to some wonderful ribbons.
Perhaps the picture explains how well we did at this show!
