🚨🐴 Attention CFHJA May Show Exhibitors - we need all hands on deck! 🐴🚨

A tail went rogue this weekend 😅 and we’re hoping to help get it safely returned to its owner 💕

As everyone unpacks from show week, could you PLEASE take a quick look through your tack trunks, grooming totes, laundry piles, and trailer corners 👀🧳🪮 to see if an extra tail may have accidentally hitched a ride home with you?

We’d greatly appreciate everyone checking! 🙏 Let’s show R-n-D Equestrian some love 💙 and prove once again what an amazing equestrian community we have by helping get this missing tail home 🐎✨

CFHJA - Foxlea

Tail was left in tent barn 2 by the office yesterday (Saturday 5/9) midday as we packed up to head home. Our Braider went to pickup Saturday night and It was not there.

If someone accidentally took it please reach out to me asap so we can get it back to the owner!
