Gracious Me - Part I

Beaulieu's Summer Classic II, was held from June 23 - 27th, 2010.  Stormy had recently been diagnosed with an abscess and while waiting for it to heal we had to scratch his entry from Beaulieu. 

Anna Mees, the owner of "Gracious Me" allowed Rachel to take "Gracie" to Beaulieu as she had her heart set on going.  Rachel has ridden Gracie in the Westar Silver Trillium shows and rides Gracie for Anna when the need arises. 

Gracie had never been exposed to this caliber of show before, competing on our Trillium Bronze Circuit with Anna and occasionally with Rachel in the Child/Adult Jumper on the Trillium Silver Circuit. A little bit overwhelmed at first she soon found her groove and started to consider herself a Grand Prix horse! She knows how to strut!

The team did extremely well with a 7th, 1st, 1st and Champion of the 1.0M Jr/Am. They then went on to place 8th in the 1.0M Speed Derby! A beautiful trophy and ribbons came home with Gracie to give to her "mom".  We all received this picture attached to a text message as neither myself, her father or Gracie's owner could be there to witness the fun!
