Favorite show animal you’ve seen?
With the number of banner winners we have each year that’s a REAL HARD QUESTION!!!!! Here’s a brief list (no particular order, and we have 100% left off some great ones)
●The 2023 Grand Champion at American Royal; shown by Maci Zerbach, and deemed a baby rhino by Skylar Scotten.
●The 2023 Grand and Reserve Grand at San Antonio, shown by Carson Kirkscey and Brisco Black
●The 2022 Grand Champion at NAILE, Stomp, shown by Hayden Schroeder, and deemed a Dragon Slayer by Brent Jennings, was raised at BTW and one that we got to see everyday in the showbarn. He was a special animal, and one that we deemed special enough to clone!
