Horse Show Report

By: Wendy Peterson

Horse shows are officially on Summer Break. We will resume again in September with Western show #4. Remember in order to qualify for year end points you must ride in at least 4 shows in each division you wish to qualify in (example age group and crossrails or age group and ranch horse etc...) Our June show was a lot of fun. We had 44 entries and even some new faces up from Tucson to enjoy the fun. The drill team did a fantastic job of opening our show for us (what else could we expect though!). A special thanks to our judge Carolyn Dobbins who got us out of their faster than we ever have before. Our big excitement of the night was the lights suddenly turning off in the middle of our jumping rounds. Horselover's park staff was great as always though and got us back up and jumping in no time. Thanks to everyone who came out and showed and volunteered time. We can not put on these events without our volunteers.
