I name Kilkenny Tupelo as the super star of Spruce Meadows for our '08 summer season. She only showed 3 times, but she won two classes!!! It was SO MUCH FUN to watch her - gallop across the field - then back up onto her hocks jump up and across, then turn and go!!! My mother and father were both so proud. Tupelo is not just any horse, she is home grown and home raised! Kilkenny Jasco offspring!!! She has the fast pace, careful attitude, and "need for speed" (-Rich Fellers) that everyone wants in their jumper. Thank you Rich, for unlocking her potential and making her comfortable with herself in the ring.
I have to say the other multiple ribbon winner was Kilknny Rindo! Though, Salamanca, Jada, Soprano, and Fantasma all jumped fantastic. Team Kilkenny enjoyed the show and had a great time.
