The 17^th Annual Spring Show held May 2-4, 2002 proved once again just how Spots are taking the horse world by storm. Up 67 entries from the 2001 show,

a grand total of 510 entries came through the Calsonic gates. Out of state horses are not only coming to Tennessee for the Fall World Championship, but also in numbers for the Spring Show. Great to see each of you this 2002 show season.

Can you believe there are only two more issues of the News before the Fall World Grand Championship? Not much time left to make sure those men that stand in center ring with the pencils have a chance to read about your horse. And you know, everyone reads the News!

There’s a new face in our front office: Sherie Menger. She is hard at work on processing papers – introduce yourself when you come in. And finally (Yea!), I have long needed help: Debbie Brown. A familiar face to many of you, she is rapidly becoming my second right hand. Working in production for the magazine, she is the missing link we have needed.

Best of luck for a blue ribbon season!

Sincerely,

Deedy Decker
