| ~Summer 2008 ~ |
 |
| It has been a very busy and fun summer after a very long and trying winter. "Erran" (Ch.Bannerstone's Knight-Errant), hit the show ring again in style in May at the Tantramar Kennel club shows in Amherst, NS. Beautifully handled by his breeder, Brian Stevens, he won BOB 2 shows and Group 2nd. A nice weekend after a two-year hiatus. |

| I was given the generous opportunity to show the lovely Arabian mare, Ben-Adhem Shafira (right), at the Atlantic Canada Arabian Horse Association June show. After a four-year break, Shafira stepped back into the show ring with her usual grace and lovely personality. Lacey (Ben-Adhem Knight Melody), settled nicely into spring training and entered the show ring for her second time at the Sunrise Class Morgan & Arabian show held in Sussex, NB. She continues to develop as a beautiful, intelligent and willing partner both in the ring and at home.(right) |
