I think that sometimes the owners of the foals we have bred and sold, or which have been sold on forget, or just don't realize how much we want to get updates,and how important it is to us to hear how 'our' babies are doing, out there.

I just had a tremendous phone call this morning from Aiken, from the new owner of one of my homebreds. He was calling to tell me Lips, aka My Romance is now a Grand Prix Jumper WINNER!

He won one $10,000 GP, 2nd in another and 4th in a $40,000. He has been showing in Wellington and Ocala. His new owners are thrilled with him, and so impressed that he has advanced so quickly - in his new career.
Up until now, Lips has been an event horse, competing at many CCI and CIC **'s and going Advanced at the age of only 7.

I am so happy that this good horse (whom I bottle raised when his mom rejected him) is doing so well, and has a good rider who not only loves him, but obviously rides him very well.

Sorry for the shameless brag. But this is the first Grand Prix Jumper winner for my homebred stallion, and a homebred at that. A Full TB as well!. :cheer:

I am hoping that someone who is more adept than I will post a pic of Lips for me.
The only downside to the story is that Lips' name has been changed from My Romance to Southbound....

Now, I just hope to get some video of one of his wins so that I can start to update Fred's DVD!
