Its almost a week since the Shamrock ADT wrapped up it's inaugural run. This was the third attempt at getting this show off the ground. The first was cancelled due to an Equine virus that was going around and the second was just bad timing for the show. Third time was the Lucky Charm as we like to say. This show was meant to be a come and have fun show and that's just how it turned out.

I've had so many phone calls of people exclaiming about how much fun they had and how they can't wait till next year and even pushed for a second show this year. Ask me in a few months for that... lol Of course the show of this type is not possible without our Volunteers. We had plenty of them, some 30 plus thanks to Diane and Wayne Pitzler who also hosted us at their Gray Stone Ranch. They put a lot of hard work into setting up their place for us and it showed. They have a beautiful facility. We can't thank them enough.

There is also ALL the administration work that goes on behind the scenes to make an ADS show happen. We thank Veronica and Ted Campbell for all their work for weeks on end, three times. . . They also showed up numerous times to make sure the facility was going to work and again to make sure the obstacles were going to work. Friday, the day before Ted and Veronica along with Diane and Wayne Pitzler and Jeanette Hayhurst were on hand to build the dressage arena, cones course and final touches on the obstacles.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my wife Erin, who without, I wouldn't have been able to keep it all together. I can honestly say the both of us worked our butts off to make this show happen and YES, we would do it all over again. So thank you to all those that made this show happen from the competitors to ALL in-between. We've learned a lot and next year, should there be another show, it will only be better!
