2011

• Ch. Issibaa's GoinForTheGold earned his grand champion title.
• Springmeadow Ranch took several dogs to the National Saluki Specialty in Lexington, Kentucky for the first time in several years. Springmeadow's First Sighting took second in Sweepstakes, shown by Brittany Bartlett, and in the regular classes, shown by his owner/breeder, Elaine Yerty.
• At the Region 9 AHA Sport Horse Regionals, Serr Sotamm+ went Reserve Champion in Third Level.
• Springmeadow's Asuwish Gem won her first major at the Galveston Bay Saluki Club Specialty show weekend in November. Only one more major to go! She only needs another 5 points before she finishes!
• Sotamm returned home for the first time since the start of his Dressage career. He is enjoying the time off and is very happy with all the mares in sight.
• We survived the two very harrowing fires that both came within 5 miles of our barn. Texas had a record drought and the brown grass and empty ponds were a sight previoiusly unseen on the ranch.
