There are two Anderson girls - Kim and Michell (sp?). Michell is now a sr.
and still riding. At one time or another I have sponsored both of these
girls through the FOF 100. Lynn Carlson just turned into a sr. and just
got a new horse hand is kicking some adult butt. Carlos Crespo's son Dan,
who I have also sponsored, is 11 and is very active and his youger brother
(8) will try his first ride this year. Pat Thomas's grandson rides a lot
with his grandmother as a sponsor and Thurmon Talbert is bring along his 9
y.o. grandson. I am sure I have left some out. Down in FL we have a bunch
of jr.'s. - and IMHO it is great for the kids and the sport. By the way
Samm, isn't Roger Balock's daughter still riding as a sr.?
