See You, Barbie's Oldenburg mare, had a lovely bouncing baby filly on Saturday, April 26, 2008. The filly's baby daddy is (deceased) - so this gal should really move! With those three white socks and what looks like a texas star on her forehead, she's already a winner! And, yes, she's for sale.
Barbie's student Marti Hohman and Rastell won the SWDC second level championship
with a score of 64.8 %, in Katy as well. She also won her bronze medal and qualified for the 2008 championships at Third Level!!
