Denny Chapman at the Spacecoast State Fair Rodeo

Thanks to GD Cline for taking this photo of me in the announce tower after the Spacecoast State Fair Rodeo last night. We emcee'd the two-day event in Cocoa FL and are looking forward to another busy couple of weeks. Next weekend, we're performing at the Dinner in the Dirt event in Jacksonville FL, then announcing the Gulf Coast Classic CMSA event in Louisiana. We've got two parades in December, trick riding clinics, mounted shooting, liberty and trick horse training for clients this winter, and more appearances than ever in 2010! Check out the sponsor logos on my shirt - they keep my horses healthy and looking good!
Happy Trails!

This is Stephanie Cons, our assistant trainer/performer, on the new Arabian Roman Riding team.

They are settling in well and Stephanie is putting them through the paces as a roman team, with the instruction of Mary Rivers and I. At this rate, they will soon be ready for public performances! Thanks, Jim! - and keep up the good work, Stephanie! www.DennyChapman.com
