Ms. Oliver, Just wanted to send a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed the Horse Classic/Western National Roundup. It went well, was well organized, excellent group of horses to judge, and the Judges were very professional, caring, and articulate (you could tell they liked their job). The Hotel was very accommodating, friendly staff, and with that many people, handled all of our questions and requests very well. Thank you for letting Doug, Wayne, and I stay at the Horse Awards breakfast although I had signed us up for the wrong thing! Sheila enjoyed herself, made new friends, and it will be a positive lifelong memory for her and for us. I am determined that we will be back to enjoy another adventure although it will have to be with different youth as Sheila has graduated out of the 4-H program and Wayne is not sure if Horse Judging is for him, maybe livestock! Thank you again for a wonderful experience that will last all of us a lifetime. Sincerely,

- Doug, Beth, Sheila, and Wayne Price of Redfield, SD

I wanted our ranch's website to look good and be updated, but I do not have the time to know how to do it myself.

Hi Ms. Oliver,

Thank you for all you did to make the National 4-H Classic such a great experience. My daughter really enjoyed the process and learned so much, and especially enjoyed interacting with wonderful kids from so many parts of the country. When a rock and roll kid from "The OC" comes home with an appreciation of the two-step, she's had a one of a kind multicultural experience!

Again, many many thanks!

- Cori Flocken
