" Bluebells Along the Brandywine"

Photo Submitted by Mary Everhart DEC Member

Mary Everhart and Suzy Q enjoy a spring riding ritual -- bluebells along the Brandywine in the Beaver Valley near Smithbridge.  The blooming season is late April through early May.
Suzy Q is an eight-year-old QH/Appaloosa cross born on Mary's property in Smyrna to a mare she was boarding for a friend.  She imprinted the mare and has been learning from her ever since!
Mary and Suzy Q like to travel.  They've been to Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.  Riding vacations to New York and West Virginia are being planned!

"Rachelrae, the Reserve Yearling at the Devon Horse Show in May"

Photo Submitted by Ken Horeis DEC Member

On May 29th we showed a yearling Oldenburg filly in the "Other than Thoroughbred" Breeding Division at the Devon Horse Show.  "Rachelrae" won her class and then went against all the other Yearling class winners and was named Reserve Best Yearling of the show.  This filly is by the good Hanoverian stallion Rosenthal and out of our Thoroughbred mare Good Angel, so she was a homebred filly competeing against some of the top yearlings in the country.  We've shown at Devon in the past when we thought we had someting that could compete, but this is our best showing yet.  Back in the late 80's we had a yearling TB colt that was the top yearling in Zone 3 and 4th nationally, but this filly is the best we've ever shown.  Just thought it might be news worthy for a locally bred and raised horse to have done so well at one of the biggest and most
Hunter/Jumper shows in the country.        Thanks, Ken Horeis

"Oreo Love"

I really like this photo.  It's my daughter and my pony Oreo.  She got married at my house on August 8th.  Apparently, Oreo was trying to get anyone's attention, so Amy walked over and gave him a kiss and a friend caught the moment.  Only a horse lover could appreciate kissing a horse, right???!!!!!

Thanks Anita
