"Not
every horseman will find a perfect horse in their life,
the horse that makes everything worth it,
the horse that has a profound effect on their life.
I consider myself a lucky one,
for I have found mine and will be forever grateful for him."
--Mary del Olmo
Accomplishments
2005 Year End Results
Formal retirement ceremony held in his honor at the ASAM Summer Show, Joey was awarded with a ring of flowers, his final Championship ribbon (with his name on it), and was treated to peppermints and carrot cake as he was toasted for a wonderful show career at his retirement party following the ceremony. The actual ceremony left not a dry eye in the house, even those who didn't know him well were teary eyed. Happy Retirement Joe!
