We're thrilled to have confirmation that two full sisters, Snippers Mito Bella (born in 2002) and owned and shown by Amanda Griffiths and Snippnbelles Star (born in 2006) and owned and shown by Dorothy Coleman (out of Dyna Mito Belle and by Snippers Heirogance) have earned their AQHA Amateur Halter Register of Merits in 2011.
Both mares already hold their Open Register of Merits in Halter. The AQHA Halter Register of Merits are awarded to horses who have gained 10 points or more in Halter, you can earn these awards in Open, Amateur and Youth. Only a handful of these ROM's are gained each year, so far in 2011 there have been 4 awards presented, and three of the horses have been horses bred and produced by Sovereign, the other being the gelding Poppett Smoked A Jay owned and shown by Ruth O'Reilly.
Both Bella and Star this year have earned numerous championships and awards, with Bella being crowned the AQHA UK Supreme Halter Champion at the Breed Show shown by David and Star ridden by Sarah Deptford winning the RISK Ltd Trail Maturity.
Congratulations to Amanda and Dorothy, and for those of you who like both these horses, we've got a 2011 full brother to these mares in the barn, he's gorgeous and David thinks he's probably the prettiest headed horse we've ever bred and he's sure to be a champion in the show ring taking after his big sisters!
The girls!
