Wow, those are GREAT placings for D's first ever show! Congratulations
He looks so proud standing there with his ribbons on his halter!
So glad to hear D was a good boy with mares around him, too!! On a side note, I sure hope the appy/arab stud at my new boarding facility behaves himself. I really don't want appy/arab/paint or appy/arab/TW horse babies - just the thought of the combination makes me cringe!

My horse's feet are as swift as rolling thunder
He carries me away from all my fears
And when the world threatens to fall asunder
His mane is there to wipe away my tears.
