Dirk Ponchak – The little boy that rode the great horse Missy is all grown up!

Doc Greuey kept telling us that Dirk would be making the BOTB this year.  Ding Ding Dirk is in the house!  Congrats to one of the nicest young men we know; Cody is the other one 🙂

Editor’s Note: We couldn’t find a pic of Dirk but we thought maybe his buddy Cody could stand in (the cover photo)!  Then right before I hit post I found one…….But thought Dirk would not mind sharing with Cody!  Cody got the cover page and here is Dirk!
