News
from
the
Broadmoor
Gang
Once
a
grandmother,
always
a
grandmother
--
at
the
Dixie
Cup
Show,
Kathy
Gutting
didn’t
have
any
of
her
own
grandchildren
to
share
her
love
of
her
Morgan
horses
with,
so
she
borrowed
show
photographer
Casey
McBride’s
six-year-old
daughter,
Hannah.
After
each
of
Kathy’s
classes
on
Frank,
she
let
Hannah
ride
him.
After
Frank’s
last
class,
Hannah
got
to
ride
Frank
for
a
longer
time.
She
also
got
a
kick
out
of
wearing
Dwayne’s
western
spurs,
especially
the
unique
noise
they
made
when
she
walked
around
the
show
grounds
in
them.
