In Memory of Rocky

Sponsoring at Spotfest Southwest – Turnout and Elegance Class (Qualifier for Concourd D’Elegance UK)

A few months ago I lost my gorgeous boy Rocky. He had reached the grand old age of 30 and I had many fabulous years with him. We never made it to a show so I wanted to sponsor a class in his memory.
