News from the Broadmoor Gang
There were 14 family members and friends who joined Mike and Dwayne for Easter dinner. Once again, Dwayne set a festive looking table, complete with beautiful flowers, colorful jellybeans and lots of chocolate goodies, while Mike created a gourmet delight for dinner!

During Spring Break, Jean Lee (Maw Maw) sent her great grandchildren to Disney World. Of course, Lilli and Autumn Thornton needed to be accompanied by their mother, Anna Redmill; her mother, Jeannie Lee; their uncle, Tony Lee; and his partner, Patrick Scarborough. Jean stayed home to hold down the fort at Shingle Branch Farm, but enjoyed all the photos and stories that her family members brought back to share with her.

Some candid photos from the trip!

No trip to Disney World is complete without a ride down the water Flume!

At the end of March, Jane Bennett was back at Broadmoor working with several amateur riders. They all worked very hard, and enjoyed camaraderie over catered dinners each evening.

That same weekend, Erlene Seybold headed back to Roy-El Morgan Farm in New Mexico to pack even more suitcases and boxes. She will be staying on at Broadmoor through the show season.

Mike and Dwayne visited with friends at the Signature Sale in Springfield, OH, April 11-13.

Next month, the Broadmoor show string will be at the Dixie Cup Classic and Southern States Regional Championship Show. We’re excited about our many new combinations. Stop by our stable area at the show and visit with all of us.
