Hearts & Flowers

The annual Hearts & Flowers AHBA trial at Packleader is in the books. We had two days of pretty good weather followed by a more typical Sunday of clouds and rain, but a good time was had by all. Thanks to our judges, Barbara Davenport, Elsie Rhodes, Marilyn Bell, and special thanks to last minute sub Craig Watson, and to our volunteers and our terrific competitors!

The complete catalog can be found here and on the Events 2024 page, but here are the highlights:

Saturday’s High in Trial went to Kelly Gann and her dog Imp Sal from HTDIIIs; RHIT was Killashandra Murray-Gann with MJ (WJ Siren’s Song) from HTADIIIs. On Sunday, HIT went to Stella (Outlands Stella For Star), handled by Barb Davenport and owned by Sue & Steve Nolen in HTDIII; RHIT went to Melinda Galt and Veena (Reverie’s Gold Verbena) in HTADIII. And last but certainly not least, the Combined High in Trial went to Sam Lietz and Bling with a combined score across all classes and stock for Saturday and Sunday of 523.5.

Congratulations to all!

The next AHBA trial at Packleader Farm, McDonald’s Ewesful Acres and Frog’s Breath Farm will be March 15-17. See the Events 2024 page for details and links to the flyer.
