A recent visit to the Appaloosa National Breed Show at Warwickshire College saw Rustlers Heirogance and David Deptford win the USA Grand Champion Mare Award.  Owned and bred by Helen Smith, by Snippers Heirogance, "Nanna" as she is called in the yard, is a yearling mare showing for the first time.  What a way to start off your show career, winning her yearling class and then standing Grand Champion.

Mind you, we shouldn't be surprised really, as her half brother, Rustlers Private Bil - out of the same mare, and again owned and bred by Helen Smith  and shown by David stood USA Grand Champion Stallion at the same show!

Congratulations to Helen and Jeremy Smith.
