10/18/18 – Sundancing Chelsea O has a future in Ranch competition all the way to National and World shows. Watching her work for her trainer today was such a treat! My goodness, she is so beautiful, willing, loving, loyal and smart! She really did seem to remember me; Mary was sure of it! Chelsea is already being noticed; I can’t wait to watch her perform among a sea of brown!
8/17/18 – Her remarkable color retention gets more stunning every day. The white spots and sparkles on her neck haven’t changed a bit! This pretty face is assuring the barking dog that the weed eater isn’t a problem. Thank you for the update, Mary! I am so proud of both of you!!!
