A little bit about our Haflingers

Newaygo County Draft Horse & Pony Show






Wow! What a fantastic Day! We brought home more ribbons than I could stop and count! And 2 large trophies! The show only required one fee per horse, with unlimited events that you could enter. So, of course, true to fashion, we entered all we could find! We also invited our granddaughter, Megan, to show with us, as well as our daughter, Jenni. Our grand-niece, Destiny, also showed up with her grandparents, and she, too, showed for us. We brought our 3 geldings, Sunny, Atta-Boy, and Mel. We entered them in halter classes, showmanship classes, and best 3 head from a farm, and best 2 head of a farm. We placed in all of these, with Mel taking 1st place in gelding ponies/Haflingers, 4 years and older. He went on to win champion of all geldings, and then won GRAND CHAMPION HAFLINGER/PONY of the show! I promise, the trophy was at least 3 feet tall! He was so showy and flashy! Definitely a standout!
These pictures are all of Mel and Jim. I especially like the one of them standing together by the fence...after one of their events, they stayed to watch Megan & Destiny's riding class. I just couldn't resist clicking a few of these photos of their backs. It looks like the 2 of them--cowboy & his horse--have become best buds!
