Achieving the 500 points for the NOHS silver level seemed to just come out of the blue Like most people who have been reeling from the rise in prices and the cost of gas, we've dialed down our showing schedule quite a bit since the AMTC national in Houston in July, but the highlight was definitely getting the silver badge for Katie's owner-handled successes over the past year. Going against the big guns at the national was quite daunting, but Katie made the cut twice in a deep, deep field. She then picked up some points and an owner-handled placement at Longview and again at Little Rock before winning the breed at Houston Toy. She took off her showing efforts for all of September and will hit the ring again for a few times between now and the Orlando NOHS finals in December.
