 Dear Fredericka, George and Robin,
 I hope that this finds everyone doing well.  Here are a few recent 
          pictures of Sonja.  She is now 4 years old and changed so much.  She 
          has really grown and filled out but has retained her amazing sweet 
          disposition and personality.  We look forward to this summers shows 
          and trail rides.  We love her dearly.
 Have a wonderful summer!
 Tim, Darci, Ryan, Meghan, Evan, Lauren & Sonja

            Dear Fredericka, George & Robin, 
            Hello!  I hope that this finds you all doing 
            great. 
            We had another great weekend with Sonja.  She has 
            become a traveler.  Friday she was at the Ohio State Fair.  Patrick 
            (our trainer) put her in an open class, voice commands only.  She 
            does great here, however they arrived at the fairgrounds she 
            experienced her first helicopter and was not amused whatsoever.  I 
            think it rattled her a bit because when she was turned loose in the 
            arena she paid only slight attention to Patrick and wanted to visit 
            with everyone on the rail.  She did her walk, trot, canter but was 
            more interested in the people, instead of giving her total attention 
            to Patrick.   She did however, come immediately when called to the 
            center and backed with her full attention on Patrick and that at 
            least landed them in 4th place.   We then had her at our local open 
            show on Sunday.  There she and Lauren (our 8 yr old daughter) took 
            4th place.  Sonja is so good with Lauren.  She loves little kids.  
            She will be again at our fairgrounds for open shows in 2 weeks.  She 
            is an amazing horse.  Thank you so much Fredericka, George & Robin.  
              
            Sincerely, 
            Darci

            Dear Robin, Fredericka and George, 
              
            Princess Sonja is sooooo amazing!!   Last Sunday 
            our trainers Patrick and his wife Mary took her to an open show.  
            For not ever experiencing a crowded show ring and grounds, she acted 
            like there was nothing to it.  She took it all in with so much 
            ease.  Here is a picture of her with Mary riding at the show.  
            Again, I am no photographer.  She did really well and we were so 
            proud of her.    
              
            Tonight, we spent the evening with her.  Again, 
            she amazed us.  Ryan (our older son) and Tim have been riding her.  
            She has allot of power and go and with those long legs she can 
            really cover allot of ground.  Tonight just on a whim, Patrick 
            tossed Lauren (our 8 yr. old) into the saddle, no stirrups, 
            and Sonja walked so gingerly.  Lauren rode her around and thru the 
            cones, figure eights, over the tarp, thru the hanging tarp.  Sonja 
            knew that she had a child on her and she was being extra careful.  A 
            few times Lauren had to do a little prodding, but Sonja did 
            everything Lauren asked of her.  Sonja has excellent manners.  I 
            wish that I had my camera with me, because it was really a sight to 
            see.  This tall, leggy black horse and this little girl.  Lauren 
            looked like a peanut in the saddle and was all smiles.  
              
            Patrick and Mary are heading to Ohio State in 2 
            weeks and are planning on taking her along.  If they do I will be 
            sure to get pictures to you. 
              
            We hope that everything is going well with you 
            and that George's recovery has gone smoothly.  
           
              
            Take care and God Bless, Darci |
