  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate sisters 
Breeanna and Sadie Lancaster for their outstanding performance in the 
Pony of the Americas Horse Show.
  Breeanna and Sadie both placed in the top 10 of the recent show and 
received awards at the State Chapter Banquet on January 15, 2006.
  Breeanna placed first overall in the 9-to-12 years-old category. She 
scored first place in showmanship, reining, western riding, trail, 
bareback equitation, and horsemanship and jumping competitions; second 
place in western pleasure and junior English pleasure, and third place 
in junior western pleasure, junior trail and open and Indian costume 
competitions.
  Sadie placed second overall in the 9-to-12 years-old category. She 
placed first in times and senior English pleasure competitions; second 
place in reining.
  At the banquet, Breeanna was named ``Top Rider'' for the Texas POA 
Club for 2005 and Sadie was the third overall in the State chapter. 
Breeanna was also given the Lance P. Scott Award for the most overall 
points in a year. She was also awarded the Diane Goodman Tennant 
Showmanship Traveling Award given annually to the point exhibitor who 
accumulated the most showmanship points in their age group for that 
year.
  These young ladies exemplify hard work and a commitment to 
excellence. Both ladies have overcome obstacles to persevere and to 
have winning seasons.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Ms. Breeanna and Ms. Sadie 
Lancaster for their extreme dedication and persistence to their extra 
curricular activities. These young ladies serve as an inspiration for 
all.
