**PHOTOS REMOVED AT THE REQUEST OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT** Deb will send personal photos to replace them with.
I am SO proud of this boy. We sold him as a 2 year old to a girl who planned to ride him in endurance. She had to sell him, and sold him to Deb. That was 2001. Deb has taken him for 2000 competitive trail ride miles, and three Top Ten CTR titles at the AHA Nationals. Deb reports that he is very close to receiving his next achievement award: Legion of Supreme Honor !
Way to go Deb and Ranger!
