BFBCC Win!

 


What an amazing end to my week in Kentucky!
My donkey nanny entry for the performance division of the 
2022 BreyerFest Best Customs Contest was named the winner!  
There were definitely some very happy tears involved. 
Check out my Facebook album for many more photos of all the entries.

I think the whip dipped and a rider slumped somewhere between judging and this picture!

 Wow! What a whirlwind. I'm just starting to catch up from last week. I was pleasantly surprised with how well I did at NAN in both performance and halter. I did a photo dump on my Facebook page, so be sure to check out the albums there for many, many more photos across all 3 days!
