In addition to Maker's Mark, Wieschhoff recently obtained sponsorship from Pioneer Club Car, a golf cart manufacturer that produces vehicles similar to the John Deere "Gator". It's an ideal sponsorship for a rider, since so many horse people end up renting or purchasing golf carts to use at competitions.

She hopes later this year to take Milo to the Burghley CCI**** in England. Spelga Dam will be bred to the Irish stallion Lion King to produce a future winner for Cathy. Using the Parelli training methods that the O'Connors favor, she plans to "play" with "Kate" and see how it goes. "She needs a break, but maybe she'll come back after the foal," she said. There are also two promising young horses coming up through the ranks.
