For all of you who have Davenports you will
appreciate this message. We recently broke ground
for a new 40' x 80' barn for our beloved
horses. (We don't spoil them). Anyway, Artemisia
CF and Prelude CF, not to be outdone by Fakher El
ALamein (Valentino) all had to climb to the top
of the dirt pile left by the excavators. (Much
like a scene recently at Cravers, where the fillies were playing King of the Hill) anyway,
what are we to do with these KIDS???
Just a happy post following such a devastating
month in which we lost our beloved Demitasse CF
We are sponsoring an annual award during the
Great Lakes Distance Riding Assn banquet in Feb.
honoring Demitasse. We will award a silver cup
to the horse and/or rider in their first full
year of competition (like she was) who best
epitomizes the true spirit of distance riding--
a good horse going down beautiful trails and
HAVING FUN! We have already picked the 1998
recipient and are looking forward to presenting
this award in February and keeping Demi's memory
alive. She truly loved the trails!
