Some of my fans at the Grand National Morgan Horse Show

A fan at the Performance Arena during Amber's and Explorer's classes

Gram and Gramps saw lots of old friends while they were at the G N.  We also made lots of new friends. Grownups and Children like to meet me, if I do say so myself.  This young lady came over to visit me. Gram gave her a copy of my book. 

Gram also gave books to lots of other little kids and some adults too.  We met ring stewards; show committee members; other exhibiters; trainers; vendors…all sorts of people, from all over the country.

There was a litttle girl who was tired after a longgggg trip to get to the G N.  She was crying, and her folks needed her to stop, so that they could go see the horses in their classes.  They didn’t want her to scare the horses, or disturb other people. Gram told her about me, and gave a copy of my book to her parents to read to her when she stopped crying.  I think that it worked.  I hope that she liked the story about my Adventures on the Farm.

We met Mary Wolverton.  She and Gram and Gramps spoke about taking me to schools for blind kids. She went to the University of Rochester, NY. Elizabeth, my primary photographer, went to Rochester Institute of Technology.  Small world.

Facebook is a computer program that I have heard about.  Elizabeth also updates my Facebook page and the other ones that we have for the Farm, Organic Greenhouse, Antique Shop, Elizabeth’s photography, the Blue Ridge Morgan Horse Association at home in Tennessee, and Britta’s not-for-profit, non-govenmental organization, MediciaXXI. Gram does most of the blogging.  Maybe Elizabeth will add a comment with links to the other Facebook pages that she monitors. We met a bunch of people who are Facebook-friends with Elizabeth.

Gramps hurt his foot at the show. Gram dropped him and I off several times, and then went to park the truck.  One time, Gramps saw a family friend, Suzy Lucine.  I got introduced.  Suzy took pictures of our horses long before I was born.  The family’s favorite photos of Rhinestone are by Suzy.  You can still see them on the sidebars of the SMHF website: www.SleipnirMorganHorseFarm.com

I’ll have Gram tell you more about some other people who we saw at the Show in future blog postings.
