Congratulations to the Eastern Contingent members and all competitors who showed in Colorado last weekend for the Silver Arrow event. Thank you for hosting, we look forward to meeting you again soon!

The full results of the Silver Arrow Classic 2021.
We had some surprises and nearly everyone took a piece of wood home.
Gracie Allee LeDoux took the Silver Arrow back to New Mexico.
Most important, it sounds like everyone made it home safe (still haven’t heard from a couple people).
Carol and I are looking forward to 2022 and have decided we would both just conduct the competition without trying to compete ourselves. It proved too much for us without experienced help.

Shout-out to Master of Horses Kent for this amazing performance at the last competition!
