This was Vickie's first time showing her 3 YO hunter in equitation classes.  We were very excited about the results and anxious to see more of this team in 2008!

Maddison Smith and Frosted N Texas had a great first showing at the Youth World Show. The two not only captured a Youth World Title in the 13 & under reining, but they also captured the heart of everyone at the show.  Maddison is quite the young lady and shows a definate love for the horses and competition! 

Anne Peters decided to purchase a new horse for the Amateur hunter under saddle classes. She had retired her horse, Dial The Deputy, and needed something to replace him. Terry had seen JenniLyn Evan's horse, Investmiss, show at previous World and Nationals and felt like she would be a good match for Anne.  JenniLynn was reluctant to sell, but soon agreed.  She also decided to show for Anne in the pleasure driving class.  Anne was Reserve in the 35 & Over HUS and placed 3rd in the NP HUS class. JenniLynn won the Open Pleasure Driving  and Tracy Lee rode the mare to a 3rd place win in the Jr HUS.  Investmiss also placed 5th in the HIH Mares and 6th in the 5 & under NP/Youth Hunter under Saddle Maturity. This team had a great first showing in 2007.  We look forward to seeing them continue in 2008.

Judy Bellistri was aboard a new horse at the 2007 National Show. He was not new to TT Inc. however. The horse, Black Tie Invite, was previously owned by Glenda Wilson.  Onyx had done very well as a two and three year old.  Judy decided to purchase him and won a Reserve Title in the Master's NP HUS. Black Tie Invite and Glenda Wilson tied for 3rd place in the Jr HUS class with Tracy Lee aboard Investmiss.  This was quite an accomplishment for Tracy Lee.  Both horses she prepared for the Jr HUS had great turn outs! After the call judge's placing............ Investmiss finished 3rd and Black Tie Invite placed 4th.

Judy Bellistri  showed Kountry Aire at the 2007 National Show and placed 7th in the Master's Showmanship and 8th in the 35 & Over Showmanship. Judy earned a Reserve National Title in Masters HUS in 2006 with this horse.  We look forward to seeing them  in 2008.
