Tuesday

Another cold day. I am STILL chilled to the bones — brrrr….

Daisy was in her first ever draft test and all was going well until she saw the Narrows. They apparently called to her — what Lori said it appeared Daisy heard was, “CHARGE!”

And so she did.

Amazingly she almost made it through — with me in hot pursuit — but yes, the wheel hit the wood and it was a flunk. A most unusual one, I must say.

Capella got to visit with Pippin (Moonshadow Dad) at the Welcome Reception…

Capella and Auntie Suzanne…

Sparkle passed Novice Draft for the fourth time — she won an award for being the oldest qualifier, did an amazingly good job, and one of the judges even said he wanted to take her home. Sparkle is rather sparkly…

It is not just Berners hanging out at the show site…

Hope your week is going well — and warmly!

Monday!

The father of the Moonshadows, Pippin, passed his first ever draft test with his human, Tara. They did an amazingly good job — congratulations to them!

Things looked a bit different by the time Team Ruthie headed into the draft ring…

The view inside — Lori from New York with Sparkle in her lap (of course!), Capella on Sparkle, and Ruthie sitting a safe distance — Ruthie is a Sparkler (Major x Sparkle)…

We send our best to Nell and John — they were in our conversation and our hearts.
