Debbie and Terry Larson both added laurels to the
ribbon collection of Dellarson Studios, St. Paul, at the
recent Ramsey County Fair Horse Show. Debbie show
ed her black gelding, MIDNIGHT C BIG JOHN, in
the open class to place fifth; then came back the next
day on QUEEN OF THE ROAD to carry home the
trophy in the Amateur Walking Horse Class. This is
Terry’s first season in the show ring and she’s doing
a mighty fine job. We look forward to seeing her show
in the Walking Horse classes very soon.
All of us at Woodlane Farm were very pleased with
the showring debut of our new black stallion, GO
BOY’S WALKAWAY.
