Silver Creeks Code of Honor

Whispering Oaks Farm and the Lipginski Family are happy to announce the purchase of the winner of the 2008 World Grand Championship Conformation horse. This stallion is the epitome of the Mountain Horse. He is triple registered and a son of the great Choco Dock. He is under saddle and getting better every day. He is a life time nominated Breeder's Cup Stallion.

Watch for him in the show ring. Standing at Van Bert Farms in Stanton Ky. For breeding information contact Larry Patterson at 859 940 8267.

The Summer Celebration starts in just two days and I am very excited about the show. Melissa is planning to ride on Saturday evening in the Country Trail Pleasure class for Juveniles 11 and under if she is well enough. She felt bad yesterday when we went for her riding lesson. She has a cold and was running a little fever. Her Granny says she is better today and if she keeps improving she will be riding Saturday. I am excited to know this Great Granddaughter of mine loves riding horses. And she is getting very good. This will be her first show and I think she will do well even if she doesn't win a ribbon. At any rate I am very proud of her. Our whole family is very proud of her.

Eleanor and I will be leaving tomorrow for Winchester to check into the motel and get ready for the next two days of the show. Whispering Oaks Farm will be represented by 6 horses in this show. We have two yearlings. Mountain Spirit and Flair for Fury. There are two that are two year old fillies. They are Dock's Velvet and Rockin Andi. Also for the first time under the Whispering Oaks and Lipginski name is Silver Creeks Code of Honor. And finally Chocolate Amigo. I am excited about our prospects for a good show. Our horses under the careful training of Cool Shade Mountain Horses and Van Bert Farms have done really well this year.

So good luck to all of the competitors. I am cheering for all of you out there. Unless of course you are showing against one of my horses.

Natalie and Mike have guests from Germany for the next three weeks. It is Natalie's brother and son. They arrived last night and the first thing her brother Ollie wanted to do was go to to Walmart. Of course, her son also wanted to go. So today we went to Shelbyville to the Walmart there. Then to get parts for my bush hog and finally to tractor supply. So they had a good day. When I went to have supper with them, Ollie was asleep on the couch. That 6 hours difference sure makes it hard to adjust at first.

They are very nice. I don't speak German and they don't speak English. But we do communicate. Smiles always communicate a message and we also understood a little of what the other is saying. Of course Natalie interprets for us. Ollie is very interested in the horses and I think they are planning to come to the show on Saturday. I think they will like it very much especially Ollie. We will also plan a trip to Stanton before they go home. There is so much to do and they have so little time to stay. There are so many nice places they can go to see.

Natalie and Mike are planning to take them to Holiday World while they are here. Fabian will really like that. He is eleven and the rides and water rides really appeal to him. Fabian is a very good soccer player and loves the game. He has learned to like Tex too who is Mike and Natalie's Labrador Retriever. He has found out if he throws a stick or ball Tex will bring it back as long as he will throw it. So he is beginning to relax. He has really been excited about the trip to America.

I hope to see you all at the Summer Celebration. Good luck to everyone and I pray that we will have a safe show for horses and riders.

God bless and keep you in his loving care.

Regards

Mary
