Oh, and did I mention that the lead singer and drummer from the rock group Hinder were staying at our hotel?!(1 of my favorite bands) Awesome!!

Steve brought our 2 yearlings, Remastered and The Voodoo King(aka Stevie and Voodoo) in to begin their training. So far, so good. Voodoo acts like”been there, done that”. Stevie is definately his mother’s (Norma Rae) son! Anyone that has been around Norma knows what I mean!  Both look promising, and we look forward to seeing their progress!

We all had an awesome time in Michigan.

Steve took Amber’s Blue Thunder (top 3 amateur park) and Maxxed Out(amateur 3-gaited champion and amateur reserve grand champion)for Memory Lane.

After the show Friday night, Steve and Hennie Leibrandt were the winning cornhole team! ASHAM is definately on our list of most fun shows. We will be looking forward to it next year!

I think it’s safe to say that “Sissy” feels the same way we do on a rainy Monday!
