Rockin' the Dots

That's "our" girls!!!!

A fantasy dream come true! A big congratulations to ASHDA Main Book mare, Rockin’ Mighty Belle, owned by Rockin’ the Dots, and her young rider, 9 year old Payton Osborne, on their accomplishment in their very first 4H show together. This past weekend they entered the Costume Class with Belle as an Alicorn and Payton dressed as a Dark Fairy. Belle and Payton look so incredible together!
They won overall, even beating out the adult class!
Congratulations to all of them, Payton, Belle and Rockin’ the Dots!
Belle has proven over and over again, not only what an exceptional mare she is, but demonstrating the gentle and calm nature, characteristic of the American Sugarbush Harlequin Draft Horse. It’s not every horse that would tolerate huge sweeping wings on their body while carefully carrying their precious cargo in the show ring.

Time to vote!!!

Please react to your favorite picture for me to use to submit to a photo contest. I am having such a hard time picking my favorite. Each of these has their own quality for one reason or another.

A friend sent over a couple edits and I had played with a couple different pictures in my photo editer last night before my phone wanted to die. I'm still deciding which is my favorite for a contest submission. Have 107 left to choose from, this is not easy.

Cassian had a big secret under wraps for Halloween but since ASHDA isnt doing a photo show Sandi has leaked a bit of it now because some of the bragging rights is just too good to keep under wraps for a year lol.
The videos are all taken as first offs so you're seeing it as they happen, which makes me so very proud too.

Now you have to wait until next year to see the final product! Its AHHHHMAZING!
