Woodke's Walnut Woods Curly Horses

Breyerfest 2007 ~ We brought Pinky and *Chip's Lil Lightning Bolt, *SLL Sir Patrick's Lil Chip, and *Silvie Rose of Sharon to this event held annually in Lexington, Kentucky. Nice showing of all Sabino horses and ponies. The theme for Breyerfest 2007 was Stars & Stripes, we had such a great time !  This was Chip's first outing after being started under saddle, he did very well for a young stallion.

This is a local parade held at the annual Mint Festival in North Judson, Indiana. The parade takes place each year on Father's Day, and always has a "Minty" theme.

In 2007 the theme was " Mint is Heaven in 2007" . We brought Silvie, Pinky,  Lightning, and Rapidash to this parade. Although the day started out with a scary thundershower, everyone waited it out and the parade started on time.

HHF & Expo is the largest horse expo of its kind in the USA. It is run entirely by volunteers and sponsored by the Indiana Horse Council. We try to make this event every year, and always have a wonderful time "talking Curly " to the people who visit us. In 2008 we attended the Fair with DCC Drifter, Chip's Lil Lightning Bolt, and Marv's Miracle. Bobbi and Shonna showed Lightning and Marvel in the breed demonstrations, and Carrie showed DCC Drifter in the Stallion Showcase. As always, the Curly horse was well liked and we had many visitors at our stalls over the weekend.
