We had a blast at Germantown this weekend.
Here is a little back story…
One of our clients who is also a dear friend said “ hey what about some scurry races?
Allen said I AM IN. Neither him or Holly Powell had ever done anything like this and neither had these two AMAZING gypsies. One has been in training 40 days here ( Knox the black gypsy) Leo ( the red roan) came back to learn this. Both have only been practicing with Allen about an hour a day each for 10 days. Both are young 3 year old and a 4 year old. Although Allen could set up the patterns in our arena we didn’t take in to account the plants, the high panels, and a crowd of hundreds of people.
I am so proud of Allen and his navigator/ leaner Holly Powell. Holly was nervous before she entered that bowl but after her first run she was hooked. I am SO proud of these horses, Allen’s training and driving and Holly for her courage!!!
I wish I could have posted all 3 complete runs they did with each horse but time wouldn’t allow.
These two teams finished 5th out of 12 in all 3 of their classes which I think is AMAZING.
You’re both winners in my book for even getting out there.
Allen even had time to give a very sweet child and daughter of another client a short driving lesson. Those youth are our future and we will ALWAYS make time for them.
Big thank you to Holly Powell, Kelly Jones owners of Carousel Gypsy Vanner Farms the owners of these super nice ponies!!
Thank you for letting us be a part of this weekend. We had a blast!!
