Oldie Conference

 

 

 

It's a nice a summer afternoon in January, feels more like April.  Old girls are out for a fun gathering.
 

The temperature is not too cold not too warm, old girls are relaxing in the sun.

 

There are over 100 "legs" of winning in this exercise area; in retirement the old girls don't have to worry about whether their wool is in perfect shape, or whether they are in show condition.
