Minnie storms the showing world

Minnie storms the showing world

Dear David
 
You may recall me sending you some photographs of our beautiful, stunning and very precious Minnie (who is by Wurlizter) when she was a 2 year old. You commented on how she had her father's head. She has now developed into a very special small intermediate show riding type / small hack.
 
I am absolutely delighted to inform you that in her first season under saddle as a 4 year old she won and was champion Intermediate in her very first HOYS qualifier last Saturday. We really are absolutely ecstatic with her and she has made all of our dreams come true. How very apt it is that her show name is "Believe" - indeed Believe in your dreams and they will come true!
 
She is beautifully produced by Gill Thompson and I cannot tell you how many comments I have had from various people saying how beautiful she is and what amazing moment she has. She really is one in a million and we owe a lot to you and the beautiful Wurlizter and to Minnie's dam - Bambi (Looking Glass Stormy Lady).
 
She has only done 6 shows this year as she is still very novicey but won a strong novice class at White Rose County, the small ISRT at Area 2A and then went onto win and be champion at Area 16 last week - beating many prolific "open" horses including one which had been 2nd at RIHS last week. She did not do any Royal International qualifiers as she wasn't ready but this has more than made up for that.
 
I hope you enjoy the photos I have attached as much as we enjoy Minnie herself.
 
Warmest regards
 
Beth Bearder & family
