Meg, you worked hard, achieved your goals, and we are all so proud of you!! 

As we look forward to 2006, we wish everyone a rewarding horse show year as we all continue to work hard and, most importantly, have fun!


As the New Year begins, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dawn on the purchase of “Hogan” and to welcome Olivia’s new pony, “Tink”, to the barn!  We wish you both the very best!


I would like to close this entry with a personal note of sincere “Thanks” to all of my friends at Hollyhurst Farm.  Without the support of the Hollyhurst family, along with my husband and children, I would not have been able to achieve my goals this year …  Debra, shoveling out mountains of manure to have my stall ready at Zones – Emily, waking up at 3:00 am, just because she wanted to help – Elizabeth, loading and hauling in the pouring down rain, unloading, setting up, grooming, supporting, and on and on - Ryan, just knowing exactly what to do – Jeanine, watching over Duke while I watched the rest of the Division – Dani & Chris, always being there for me – and Meg, sharing the entire experience with me! 


Betsy, you always offer your patience, guidance, expertise, professionalism, and integrity.  You enable us all to succeed while always remembering that we can achieve our goals while having fun ~ enjoying our hobby ~ loving our horses.  As you celebrate 10 years at Hollyhurst Farm’s new location, we wish you and Max the very best, and look forward to many, many, more years with you!

Patti
