Horse Show Moms -- you are truly the heart of it all, and so deeply appreciated.

Some of you are juggling children, ponies, tack trunks, braids, grooming, schedules, and endless details.
Some of you are trainers. Some are competitors yourselves. But nearly all of you are the steady source of encouragement, emotional support, problem-solving, and love that keeps everything moving forward.

You are the early mornings, the long drives, the reassuring hugs, the cheering section, and the quiet strength behind so many dreams.

We hope today brings you a moment to feel celebrated, appreciated, and wrapped in the same love and support you give so freely to everyone around you.

Happy Mother's Day to the incredible show moms!

Congratulations to Ruby Wallace & Be My Valentine on receiving the Spring Celebration Horse Show Best Turned Out Award!

And congratulations to a strong field of nominees! We honor you all for raising the standard of excellence. Thank you for your leadership.

Pack that boot polish, shine that pony, it could be you next weekend at the Red, White, & Blue Horse Show!

See you at the rings!

Congratulations Nichole Lariscy for being selected as the recipient of the Sportsmanship Award at the PHJ Spring Celebration Horse Show!

Your kindness, integrity, positive attitude, and commitment to true sportsmanship sets a wonderful example for our entire equestrian community. Thank you for leading with grace both in and out of the ring.

Each PHJ show, the staff and show officials nominate by back # each day a rider or trainer that exemplifies excellence in two categories: turnout and sportsmanship. We've seen shows where the lists were short, so truly the nomination is given with thoughtful consideration by team members as they witness excellence.

We also give a Sportsmanship Award at the Year End. This Award recipient is selected by the membership and community nominations.

We like to catch you in the act of excellence and show our appreciation.

See you next weekend at the PHJ Red, White & Blue Show, May 16 & 17.
