Under Judge Mrs. Jane Fischer de Thouars, Caris won a plate with a pony head inscription, a rug storage bag, a hay feeder, a beautiful print of the painting "Kindred Spirits" done by Jenness Cortez as well as two perpetual trophies and of course all her ribbons!! Needless to say, we were very pleased with her accomplishments.
For the Section A 2 & Under Filly category, Caris was awarded Regional, Provincial and National Champion!
And last but certainly not least, Alvesta Lil Tuck was a Champion in his own right in his costume class with our two year old granddaughter Eva. He was wonderfully patient for the whole ordeal, standing for ages while my daughter, Christine, put all those ribbons and flowers in his main and tail. Unfortunately, Eva was asleep for her class! Thank you Mary and Randy James for allowing us to use him for the class.
