See her AQHA papers
here
Also registered
the the FQHR (92.19% foundation)

is in the incentive fund
See
what is happening with her full brother Scooter...he
is very cowy
and
is coming along very well in the teamroping arena on the heading side.
Boomer
is riding well, regardless of what is done with him...trailride, checking
cattle, and tracking them on his own
Gunner
was just sold and the new owner plans to trailride and show later in pleasure
and reining
Grace
(on left) and her dam, Maudie, ended up looking a lot alike.
Big
difference is Grace is 16.1-1/2 hands and Maudie is 15.3.
The
two pictures above were taken September 28, 2007.

On
July 19, 2008 Sarah competed on Grace at the Gosper/Phelps County 4-H horseshow
held in Elwood, NE. She received a blue in Horsemanship, Grand Champion
in Western Pleasure and Trail, and Reserve Champion in Reining.
Annie
and Buck were also used at this fair.
See
each of their results on their individual pages.
She
also competed on her in Horsemanship, Western Pleasure, and Reining at

At
the State KWHA horseshow held Labor Day weekend 2007, Grace finished 2nd
in the 10-13 age group's Horsemanship for
our
niece and 1st in Reining and 3rd in Western Pleasure for Lori in the Sr.
Women's class.
At
a KFQHRA horseshow that Lori attended with her in Wakeeney in September,
Grace finished
1st
in Handy Ranch Horse, 2nd in Working Cow Horse, Ranch Reining, and 3-6
year old Mares,
3rd
in Ranch Cutting, Ranch Pleasure, and Pole Bending, and 4th in Barrels.
Barrels
and poles is not something that she has been worked at and probably won't
just due to
the
other interests I have in cattle classes.
The
picture above was taken in October 2007 of our niece and Grace.
You
can see that Grace is perfectly happy with all of the attention she can
get.
This
girl is really turning into a nice cow horse. She was used during
the 2007 AI season extensively
and
she really started cutting well and started taking a real interest in the
cattle work.
It
was very muddy at the AI site, but she showed a real heart when having
to move
through
the deep areas, even sidepassing working a gate.
She
goes anywhere you point her, even into a deep water/mud hole.

Grace
was used 3 of the 4 days weaning calves in 2006 and was tracking well
and
even was starting to show some cutting moves.

Grace
returned to the trainer in April 2006 since she had been laid off
of
for approximately 10 months due to having to have surgery.
She
is turning out a lot like her brother, Scooter.
She's
very smart and has a lot of ability for being a big horse
(she
is standing almost 15.2).
She's
quick and will just glide in a turn. She is also taking a liking
to working cattle.
She
has a wonderful disposition and is a real joy to ride.
My
11-year old niece has even been on her.
FQHR Horseshows
She
attended her first FQHR horseshow on July 22, 2006 where she was rode in
a few events.
She
was rode in Amateur Ranch Pleasure and received 5th, Amateur Ranch Reining
and received 5th, and Open Handy Ranch Horse plus shown in Conformation
3-6 year old mares.
My
nephew showed her in the conformation class and the judge told him he preferred
a shorter horse. She received 5th in Conformation.
In
Handy Ranch Horse,
the
only place she hesitated was getting in the trailer without me, but she
did put her front feet up in right away, but had to wait for instructions
from me.
Other
than that, she worked the gate well, drug the log with no hesitation, walked
over the logs, did the mailbox great, and had no fear of the rope when
the dummy was roped.

As
a baby, she loaded in a trailer, backed out of the trailer,
lead,
and tied all very easily.
A
bridle path was clipped with loud cattle clippers for the first time
with
no problems on March 18, 2004, and that was without even tying her up.
She's
very gentle and loves attention, too.
