The Demitasse Cup is an annual distance riding award
given to a first year horse and/or rider in Great Lakes Distance Riding Association in memory of our
wonderful Davenport mare Demitasse.
This year's recipient, we are happy to report, is Crucian. A Davenport gelding owned by Shelley Dake of Michigan. Crucian was purchased from Dave and Sara
Jones early in 2000 and he had a WONDERFUL time on the trails his first year. He had some obstacles to overcome and never once faltered nor gave less than 110% to Shelley. He accumulated quite a few miles this past year on the trails, everywhere from Michigan
to Illinois, to South Carolina! Join us in congratulating Shelley and "Cruiser" on this accomplishment! Her e-mail address is dedake@prodigy.net if you'd care to send a personal
message!
