Hackneys - APSB Champion - Miniatures - Shetland

I have included on this page some special pictures that were taken during the show, they were not part of a particular class that was covered in detail, but the were certainly worthy of inclusion

John & Dianne Kee's most beautiful 10 year old American Saddlebred mare Sarah. She won her class (and caught my eye, as I watched the Warmbloods - John told me a little about her training as they stood to join in the Grand Parade.  Sarah was the Champion Hackney Horse.

Minatures
On the 'usually off limits' turf between the old stable block and the indoor arena paraded the cutest miniature horses and ponies.
It is difficult to know how you would keep them from becoming just like the family dog!
