MANDY SHIPE<br />

An example of sportsmanship<br />

By Donice Muccio<br />

Last year, Mandy Shipe, Malachi’s student of ten years, was<br />

crowned Coral Springs High School Homecoming Queen.<br />

Mandy is very bright and has an amazing future ahead of her,<br />

because she is extremely reliable and self-motivated in all that<br />

she does.<br />

Mandy is kind with everyone at the barn and always willing to<br />

help regardless of the need. Although she has never owned her<br />

own horse, Mandy treated one special horse, Aladdin, as her<br />

own. She successfully showed Aladdin for several years at the<br />

Parkland Horse Show (PHA). Mandy has always been a true<br />

example of sportsmanship, as she never displayed any disappointment<br />

with her favorite horse when she didn’t have a perfect<br />

ride. Her real joy was being with Aladdin, and her genuine love<br />

for this special horse is evident each day Mandy visits the barn.<br />

Mandy is a senior now, which means another wonderful student<br />

that feels like part of the family will be leaving in the fall to attend<br />

college. I know when she visits her family in Coral Springs, she<br />

will visit her home away from home - Malachi Acres. We are<br />

very fond of Mandy and wish her the full life of joy that this<br />

special young lady gives to everyone she meets. P<br />
