Monty does fantanstic...in a HUNTER, not a jumper class!

Wehad a good weekend manning the farm by ourseleves while Nola, 12 horses and a bevey of boarders, clients and helpers attended the Dillgberg show. We had OK weather and did some spring cleaning and had some good rides. Then yesterday I made a late decision to go to the NPHA opener show to do some fences with Monty. Birchtown's new second arena is up and running so it was nice to be able to wait inside to take your turn. The judge was Wendy Chapot, who I believe is frank's daughter, or at least a close relative. I knew things were looking up when she placed Monty second only to Trudy and Thunder in his flat class. The We did Working Hunter and he put in the round of his life and took third to Trudy again. I was thrilled with him and had a really relaxing afternoon. Showing Monty is always a blast because there's no stress...he's just an angel!
