We are very much looking forward to not only having a booth for the 2008 H.I.T.S. Conference , but also participating in the all-day demo portion of the event on May 31st, a long with many others! This is a great time for all to show their training. It’s one thing to be able to read about different types of police K-9 training, and to see some of it advertised in magazines, or even on video, but to see the dogs in person, and the handlers, and to experience the different training systems and equipment in person is quite another thing. We actually have one of our Sit Means Sit schools for trainers in Denver Colorado, so it will be great just heading down the road to the Denver Federal Center for the demo. We will have quite a few of our trainers, and quite a few of our dogs.
It was a lot of fun having the priviledge to be one of the corporate sponsors at the recent Rolex 3 day event horse show. This was the first really big horse event that I have been to in person. Everything was top notch there, and the animals were all amazing to watch. A friend of my wife’s family named Laine Ashker actually had a terrible fall at the event, and that was really a bummer. Laine actually came over and spent a good hour talking with everyone at our dinner table the night before the accident, and she was just the nicest and most humble person that anyone could possibly meet. She is a person in great shape, and I’m sure this will contribute to her recovering as quickly as someone possibly could from a fall like that. These people are tremendously courageous who ride and train for these types of events. Very dangerous sport. On the brighter side, I thought I would put a video up here of just some of the fun stuff that we did at our booth at the event. There were thousands of people there, and we hope to see a lot of them there again next year.
