Another Rene wins big:
John and Brandon Hanning have been wining BIG since they bought back
the great Rene mare Strate Jets a Turnin'. They had sold her and
the buyer just wasn't getting along with the mare. Well, as
fortune would have it, Brandon got on with her just fine. In the
3 months since they repurchased her, they had made well over $7,000 on
the mare! Brandon was hitting the Midwest NBHA state shows and
placing 2nd in the youth and 6th in the open in Ohio, then off
to the Colonial National to take their money there. They seem unstoppable
We wish them luck and look forward to the next update!
