Mo Mister Blue & Justin Lawrence

Mo Mister Blue by Mister Smart Remedy was named after my daughter Monique or (MO) we call her and born on her birthday.Mo is a grandson of my stallion Blue Fancy Dan was to be my amatuer futurity horse at Reno before I hurt my back and had it injected. I had always dream of having one of my Blue babies in the show pen at Reno!! Justin Lawrence was training him for me, so we decided at the last minute to buy Justin and Mo a slot. Justin only had 8 months training on Mo before Reno and the little horse blew us away in the show pen with his grit!!! Mo anf Justin made the Intemedate Open finals and I was so happy, Not having imagined they would have the highest fence score of a 222 in the finals and end up 7th.Mo and Justin earned $4500 and a buckle we are so pround of them!!! Justin and Kelcie Lawrence now own him , I could not be happier to have my Dream come true and they will take him on in the show pen!!!
