September 9, 2007:  The
Brannon Barnsters took a
field trip to The Kentucky
Horse Park, where they
toured the American
Saddlebred Museum, had a
picnic during the meeting,
and watched the Parade of
Breeds.  As seen in the
photos, every participant
wanted to sit atop the lovely
wooden ASB rocking horses
and pretend to show.  
The September Barnsters horse
games day was a tremendous
success.  So many youngsters
showed up to learn and practice
skills to improve their balance,
coordination, and guiding while
riding.  Games included those
taught at Horses and Hot Chocolate,
the winter games held at the
Kentucky Horse Park.  In addition,
club members and students
practiced two-point at the trot over
ground poles.  Many thanks to
Kelsea Rookard for organizing the
event and to Deb Rateri, the club
sponsor for providing refreshments
and awards.  Of course, we must
thank the equine ambassadors of
the day:  Lucky, Stanley, Watcheyes,
and Fancy.
February, 2008:  
Pictures above
and to the right
feature the field
trip in which the
Brannon
Barnsters
participated
during the ASHA
Youth
Conference.  
They saw not
only American
Saddlebreds, but
Friesians as well.
 Thanks to Deb
Rateri for
chaperoning the
day for the
participants.
