and W Martin
As always we enjoyed our weekend at the Cumberland

into rain on the second. Day one saw Silverthorn Country Music place 5th
in a line-up of 17 two-year-old quality futurity horses and then a 3rd
place in the two-year-old filly class. Young April Spriggs came along with
us for the competition and first up won her juvenile handler class. Then
in the saddle with Silverthorn My Girl, took out 4 firsts, a second and a
reserve champion working horse. The points earned over the day ultimately
resulted with April winning the Hi Point Youth trophy rug. Congratulations
April.
Day two saw:
- April take out a second in the junior judging.
- Knights Jugaby with reserve champion stallion, a 3rd in his snaffle
bit hack and a 2nd in his working class.
- Our sires progeny group of two, with My Girl and Country Music came
third out of a good line-up of quality horses.
- My Girl won the three-year-old futurity, and had seconds in the
three and under snaffle bit hack, working horse, and station horse
