The dog show will now be under the care of Marty and Jennifer Barr. The ladies are very excited to see the 2018 Celebration Dog Show be the best it’s ever been.

when we went for a ride... and so many more to mention. My first WHOA International Champion, a Multi World Champion under Saddle and under halter at both SSHBEA and NSSHA, a World Grand Champion Country Trail Pleasure Horse, and many more wins to mention. I guess Rosemarie Wood needed her this evening more than we do here on Earth. She will be missed everyday by me and my family. Tibbs Highway Horse Farm won’t be the same.

She was shown and enjoyed by many, Bailey and Haileys first Leadline Pony, Becky Shane Conn had shown her Model, Larry Wilhoite winning a blue in Model, Tess Boring catch riding along with Tiffany Stevens Hartwig’s daughter Bella Paul Hartwig and winning some blues, Mackenzie Morgan winning some Reserve World and WGC ribbons, Katlyn Mahon catch rode her to some good ribbons, and even Brandon Tate got in the saddle...
