victory in the Junior Three-Gaited class. "Rudy"
is owned by Betsy Thomas. Not to be outdone by
the veterans, The Rock Star, debuted to an impressive
and unanimous victory in the UPHA Park Pleasure

CH Reedann's Phinery, and his owners, Locksley
Hall, LLC (aka Dirk and Anthony), very proud.
The pleasure division maked the debut performance
of new team, CH Just Special and Carol Hillenbrand.
"Justin" and Carol scored a unanimous
victory in their qualifying class and were named
Reserve Grand Champions. Tracy Garcia and her
