As promised here is the link to the calendar I created

Enjoy!

Blog Restart

Well I decided it has been way too long for the "Horses and People" blog and the Winter Boredom has set in so here we go. This is a card I created at shutterfly.com to send for Valentine's Day
Candy Hearts Valentine's Day 5x7 folded card
Modern greeting cards and party invitations by Shutterfly.
View the entire collection of cards.

It's a great website and easy to use - right now they have a promo going on and you can create a card for free using the code card4u at checkout. I also created a show season calendar with most of the major show dates listed and personalized with pics from our barn family over the last year. I plan to post a link to that later so that anyone can view/order one.

Lewisburg & Pulaski July 24-25 2009


Sorry to say I don't have any shots from this weekend. Without going into alot of detail, suffice to say these were probably the two best horse shows of the season so far. Entries were up, the crowds were big and the weather was great.
Since I didn't have any pictures from the shows, I decided to include this picture of "The Bronze Avenger". He is a (real) yard ornament from Mom and Dad's home in Tallahassee, Florida, that wears the roses (poinsettas)every year at Christmas time!
Next week: Belfast and Wartrace "the cradle of the Tennessee Walking Horse" and Strolling Jim's hometown and final resting place. See you there!

PC Splash and Lynchburg Horse Shows July 17-18 2009



The weather turned cool this Friday night in Columbia at the Maury County Park track. Overall the PC Splash was a great show despite the adversity of the USDA being unreasonable. Later in the week I will add a link to the re-broadcast of the show by Dean Johnson Video - the Brogdon Family helped sponser the broadcast and he did some neat commercials for us.
The highlight of the PC Splash was Chrome Dollar who won the 2 year old stallion class outstandingly with Charlie and looked the best he has all year! Woo-Hoo he is Celebration Bound! Joyce Meyers made a great show on Row Ya Boat for Joyce Meadows in the 4 year old stallion class and tied 2nd. Yours truly won the first blue of the season in the 4 year old Mare and Gelding Class on Pushin' Dollars & Sense. Charlie got a blue on a new 2 year old filly named Night Shades Sonyador - owned by the Leonards from Arkansas. She was great.

The big highlight for Charlie Green Stables at the Lynchburg show was Kounti Green's debut in the lead line class on her new pony Casper. Candy,Kounti and Casper tied 2nd in the class and were a crowd favorite.
Alot of classes turned out to be exhibition style including Ben on White Out by Jazzin the 2 yr old amateur mares & geldings class,Lynda on Ozone's Full Throttle in the amateur 4 yr old stallions class, Sister on C Me Push, Charlie on Flamingo Dancer in the 3 year old mare & gelding class, and Masked Threat in the 15.2 class (Threat later went back to win reserve in the stake!). Joyce Meyers showed Jose's Whole Shabang in a good Amateur Mares and Geldings class and (IMHO won) tied 2nd.
(FYI after the show I asked Billy Thomas why they picked this judge for their show and he advised me that his brother Charles is good friends with Lonnie and that people had been giving him (Billy)a hard time all night about this.)

Check out the pictures from Lynchburg below. Don't forget to click on the "slideshow" button at top left to see the pictures full size.

Long Awaited Posting

Hi Everybody and welcome back to the Horses and People Blog. I have to apologize for the tardiness of the first post of the 2009 horse show season, but we have been busy showing horses!
So far the year has gone very well considering, and we are all fortunate enough to be able to continue to SHOW our wonderful Tennessee Walking Horses with love and respect as well as enjoy the camaraderie with all of our friends in this business. I have uploaded several albums which are roughly sorted by date/horse show below. Most of these are small albums consisting of just a few pictures but I separated them for chronological organization. Click on the picture to see the whole album and then select "slide show" (at top left in new window)to see large images in a full slide show. Hope you enjoy them.

Tunica and Winchester


The Charlie Green Stables crew made the haul to Tunica Tuesday November 4th for the 4 night show. Sadly on Thursday morning Charlie learned his father was not expected to live through the next 24 hours and he and the crew returned to Shelbyville with the horses. The rest of us followed on Friday and went to Winchester Saturday night to watch and see Joyce Myers win the 3 year old ameteur stallion class on Row Ya Boat, the J&J Enterprises colt that Dick has been working recently. Congrats to the Joyce's and Dick! Click here to see all pictures from Tunica and Winchester.
