Beau Gets Blue Ribbon at Supreme Invitational - Oct 4th, 2008





Elizabeth Swaine and Beau get a 1st place in 13-17 Walk/Trot at the Supreme Invitational at Blalmy Acres. Liz's mom and I were there to greet her when she walked out of the ring. Beau is a Missouri Fox Trotter that we are showing saddle seat in just his trot. Next year we are all competing at walk/trot/canter classes. Of course I will be in the over 18+ class! We all go to the awards dinner this February where I will take a 5th place overall. Not bad for my second year showing. Liz will be taking a 1st place and Beau actually is the Grand Champion for the season. More to follow.

That same night I was headed back to see him around 8:00 PM when I got the call from Rita, that her and Tayna were trying to get a hold of me. "I don't want to see Beau die, you better get here I already called the vet and he was on his way". Paniced stricken we were on on way to the barn. Beau was already wearing Poffie's halte
