A Special Shout Out to my dear friend and college roomie, Ardi Stroman, her beautiful daughter, Katie Pfeifer and their awesome gelding, "A Leaguer By Choice" (aka Benny).  Katie rode Bennie to a great 4th place finish (out of 47 entries!) in Novice Amateur Hunter Hack, and a 9th place finish in Novice Amateur Working Hunter at the 2011 AQHA Congress. Kudos to Katie and Benny!!
