Hickman Ranch has a World Champion

Through the past year, we have been competing with Junior (left in the photo) and Sandy in Palomino Association horse shows. Both horses qualified to attend the Palomino World competition held in Tulsa, OK this past July. Renee showed both horses for the Ranch with Junior facing extremely stiff competition in his events and while never placing "In the money", gained valuable experience and was a finalist in Western Riding. Sandy, who was really taken along to be a companion to Junior while on the road has a talent for being always the fastest to get to the gate when we are bringing the horses in from the pasture for feeding-time. This inherent athleticism held in him in good stead for the speed events where he won the Flag Race and is now the 2008 Palomino World champion for that event. And yes...back at the Ranch, he still is first to come in for the feed bag.
