NEIGHdlepoint

Horsemania 2022 concludes tonight with the LexArts 50th Celebration and HorseMania Auction. NEIGHdlepoint will go on the auction block sometime after 7pm tonight—his stall at the Old Courthouse is empty. Here’s hoping NEIGHdlepoint’s buyer places him somewhere where we can continue to enjoy him. I’ll keep posting about him tonight. If you’re interested in purchasing NEIGHdlepoint, you can find him on bidpal…as of now he has a bid of $4500.

Winner of the 2014 Kentucky Derby, California Chrome was stitched by Ann McManus of Owensboro, KY who will turn 90 this year, making Ann the oldest NEIGHdlepoint stitcher!  Interesting fact about Ann, who has stitched for over 75 years….her late husband was a Doctor who culminated his medical career as a cruise ship doctor….Ann traveled the seas with him where she stitched many pieces including two beautiful rugs!! California Chrome went on to be named the 2014 and 2016 Horse of the Year.
