Time for a bareback ride between classes at the 2009 Southern States Regional Morgan Horse Show. |


| The excited young ladies, pictured above, are about to enter the very popular Lead Line Class at the Southern States Regional Morgan Horse Show, May 2009. Zoie, Mari and Keaton say "Bring me my Morgan!!" |
Rebecca was 4th overall in the Large Pony division out of 19 entries - she was the only Junior in that division. She won her Scurry Obstacle Class by 5 seconds! She was also the overall AMHA Morgan Horse Champion for the Show. Rebecca was awarded honors during the Parade of Champions on Sunday afternoon. She was thrilled but completely exhausted. This compares to the Grand Nationals for Carriage competitions as far as hard work and exhaustion are concerned! Submitted by Leanne Jones, Rebecca's Mom.
