August 2008 Member News from Walnut Hill Meryl Hossfeld and his pair of Welsh Ponies (Wild Wings Kentucky Thunder and Wild Wings Summer Magic) showed in the Large Pony Pair division at Walnut Hill. They were first in their Presentation Pleasure Drive, 2nd in Reinsmanship, 3rd in their Turnout class, and 6th in their Cross Country Obstacles. Meryl also showed in the Old Guard class with his Arabian Ebony Dreamweaver, earning a 5th. Mary Thomas' reports on her experience at Walnut Hill: "My pony, Shepherd's Purse Sweet Gale (Dartmoor) was 6th in a large class of Small Single Pony Turnouts. We made it through the Cross Country Obstacles without mishap, but were too slow to finish in the ribbons. Gale is a four year old and I haven't pushed her for speed. We're still working on learning all this new stuff. I drove the cones wrong (driver error again) and there were better drivers in our reinsmanship class. I was thrilled to have placed in just one class. What a wonderful show! I couldn't have planned a better vacation."
