yr old Bart Krymsun
The Pursley's and the Jones's knew the World Show
would be tough with horses that had won the Masters,
Reichert and other big events. They went to the
World Show just hoping he would show as good as
he did at the Congress. So, as Chris prepared
Bart, you could see Bart was even stronger and
more at ease at the big event. That is more than
could be said for the Pursley's as they were on
pins and needles. When Melissa entered the World
Show arena for the first time and they announced
Bart Krymsun the crowd clapped. The Pursley's
thought that was so exciting to know other people
liked him too!! Melissa made it out of the split.
Wow! By this time the Pursley's were hardly able
to breath knowing Bart was selected for the preliminaries.
Once again Bart entered the arena and this time
the crowd was louder and even more excited. Bart
was all business while the Pursley's were a nervous
wreck. In great fashion Bart made it to the finals.
The night of the finals watching Chris prepare
Bart was like watching someone prepare for the
Opympics. Finally the time had come for Melissa
to climb aboard and take that last trot down the
middle of the World Show arena for the finals.
Once again, they announce Bart Kyrmsun and the
crowd goes wild. This time the Pursley's were
in total shock of the crowd reaction, but were
pleased to here the crowd believed in this horse
bred and raised in little ole Middletown, Indiana.
They watched on the edge of their seats as Melissa
and Bart showed. Melissa had a beautiful ride
and then everyone was called to the middle of
the arena. Now it was up to the judges to make
their final decisions. The Pursley's were thrilled
to be in the top 15, 2 yr olds and they knew in
their hearts Bart had given his all. As the announcer
started the placings and worked their way to 4th
place Melissa and Bart were still in the arena.
The Pursley's knowing that any placing would be
great..but to be in the top three was way more
than they could imagine. When Bart and Melissa
were announced 3rd, the crowd and the Pursley's
went wild. For the Pursley's it was a long time
dream come true! Once again Chris and Melissa
were right!!! Julie, Randy, Bob and Linda would
like to thank Chris and Melissa for making a dream
come true.
