2008: Year of our first Grand Champion
2008 became a banner year for Navarre Mini Acres when our Royal Oaks Simply Awesome became National Champion for the Western Country Pleasure Driving class, 32 inch and under, at the AMHR show in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Mandalay's 2009 accomplishments
In 2009 we only attended 3 AMHR shows but Mandy managed to garner 9th place in AMHR All Star Points for Halter Obstacle and 1st in Golden Age (over 55) Jumper. We did attend open shows in Wisconsin with clubs that belong to Wisconsin State Horse Council. For these shows we had to compete against minis, ponies, and big horses. Mandy has a big heart and throws everything she has into her performance. At the first show against a big Fresian, she was a bit rattled by the thundering hooves and his rattlling equipment but managed to place second in the class at that show. At the end of summer the Horse Council had a Championship Show for those that obtained one 1st in a class or two 2nd places. At that show, Mandy placed 6th in pony/mini halter, 2nd in pony/mini Reinsmanship, and 1st (Champion) in pony/mini Driving. |
