The 2005 show year has been an interesting “ride”. In February at Scottsdale CJA Aspen Glow was a three time top ten horse. She went top ten in the Half-Arabian Open halter class with Jesse Saldana and in the AOTH with Ronnie. She also garnered a top ten in the JTH class with Ronnie’s stepdaughter Nellie.

Aspen was then shown under saddle in the Norcal Futurity show in April. While she did very well she did not place. She was shown Hunter Pleasure and she really is a Country English Pleasure which she did eventually show in during the Region 3 show in July. Jesse had great rides on her at that show but the competition was tough. She is currently in training with Jesse for CEP and is for lease or sale.

In April Vinery Arabians along with 100K Mile Ranch purchased the beautiful TF Psymreekhe filly AladaMreekhe GHA. In her first futurity class she went champion. “Jewel” went on to place in the top three at the Region 1 show and Reserve Champion Yearling filly at the Region 4 show.

Special thanks to Jesse and Juana Saldana for taking “Jewel” so far so fast. And thanks to Amy Ash for her continued support and partnership with Jewel.

We at Vinery Arabians wish you all the best of holiday seasons and look forward to seeing you in 2006!
