If you are coming to visit us at a show and you want to make sure you see a certain class, please let me know and I can send you a copy of the schedule or if you look these shows up online most of them have the show schedule posted as well. Look forwad to seeing you there!

Visiting Home

Well, the JFR girls and crew will be at home in Bondurant, Wy. starting after the Nebraska State Fair through September 18th. If you are in the area feel free to stop by and see us we are glad for the visitors.

Upon arriving at the JFR, we hooked the girls in their show harness and to the show wagon in a 6 to do the ribbon cutting on Mr. R's new bridge.

Kate and Surprise gave some of the visiting guests a ride down to Antonio's to  see the bison, and boy did they remember about high elevation air levels in a hurry! But regardless they went down the road like champs waiting patiently until the bison tour was over to take the guests back to the barn.

The JFR crew had been busy, getting things repaired and cleaned up for the last 4 shows of the season. But everyone agrees it's nice to be home for a while. And on a personal note Taylor Coleman (Brian and Colleen's oldest) went to school this week for her first time at school. So we are all wishing her "Good Luck!".

Nebraska State Fair

Let me say that as our first time to this show and show facility that we were all very impressed with how nice and big the place was. The staff was all top notch and very friendly and willing to work with the exhibitors. We hope that other hitches find out what a cool place this will be to show at and we can get more hitches out there. Because the numbers for geldings was so low they offered to let everyone drive all three nights to provide more competition, which we all loved. So if you see mares in a gelding class OR vice versus it's because that's how the program listed it but really they were open classes.

Mare 6: JFR, Paradise, H Factor, Robey, Mt. View, Solomon
Mare 4: JFR, Solomons, Mohney, H Factor, Mt. View
Gelding 6: Paradise, JFR, Robeys, Solomons, Kehl, Mohney, H Factor
Husker Classic 6: JFR, Paradise, Robeys etc.

We did scratch the cart classes since we hooked the six every night, and we were so busy I didn't get the team and unicorn placings, but we won both of those classes as well.
