Blueberry

Blueberry is one of my young stars. I did some skijoring with her in the spring, and I have just started running her in lead. We went five miles today, and she was terrific. She is a favorite with visitors, too, because of her friendly personality. She will be two years old next month, and I hope to race her this year.

Blueberry's mother was the lovely and talented Holly, who was bred and raced by Neal and Carolyn Johnson and was a winner of many top sprint races. Her father (not pictured) was the excellent leader Pinto, who led Buddy Streeper to two wins at Yellowknife and a second place at the Open North American.

Blueberry has always been a standout. Here she is in her first day of life, closest to the camera, and again closest to the camera at three weeks of age.
