As many of you know, i had a severe case of food poisoning , beginning in the early hours of Thursday morning, continuing until Sunday…… Thankfully, i had all the show prep done already, with abt half of show items already at the arena…. I managed to get there with everything else before show time on Thursday, and forced myself to work every night, as “ the show must go on”. It takes our horse family pulling together, to make an event such as this, possible. Many thanks

Thanks to everyone who gave sponsorships, we so very much appreciate your generosity & financial assistance, as this is a very expensive event to present, thanks again

Happy Fall…. Hope to see everyone at the NSSHA Awards Banquet in January, 2027
