This is the rider "WADARD" going into battle with William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. This may be the earliest reference to the "WOODWARD" name and is found on the "Tapestry of Bayeux". Looks like our family connection with horses goes back 1000 years!

We are off to the AHA Region 8 Championship show this next week. It will be the first major test for Patriot. He has performed well in the local class A shows this spring and in the open shows here in Utah.

The 2010 show season has started with Deseret I and II at the South Jordan Equestrian Park the first week of April. Jerusha started off strong with Patriot VF, their first show together. They grabbed a number of firsts in hunter and at halter.

Patriot VF, "Pae" was added to the herd in December last year. After looking at about 80 videos and making two major trips to California and Arizona to look at horses that could replace Kori, we found Patriot VF at Ventura Farms near Los Angeles. On the morning that he made the trip north to Utah it was 65 degrees when he left Ventura and 2 degrees when he arrived to six new inches of snow in Utah. I don't think that he had ever seen snow. I am sure that it was quite a shock!!
