The 2025 Region XI Championship Show was one for the books! We can’t express enough gratitude that we have for everyone that was involved in making this the event that it was!
We knew that we were going to be expecting some newcomers, but had no idea they were going to show up like you did! We loved having you all join us. We would like to thank every owner, breeder, exhibitor, trainer, family member, friend, sponsor and especially the horses for making this show so special.
Although some sessions ran long due to the amount of entries and split classes, our center ring NEVER missed a beat.
Peter Fenton, your voice is iconic and we were honored to have you on the microphone. No one has a voice like you.
Jeff Caldwell, your professionalism and attention to detail behind the scoring is appreciated more than you’ll ever know.
Jon McCarthy and team, if your photos blowing up all over Facebook wasn’t enough to show how much everyone appreciated and loved your work, we want to tell you that you are amazing! You are so talented and professional and we are grateful to have you capturing all of the spectacular moments.
Stacey Dunn, you brought amazing music to the show and everyone loved your music. We know your week didn’t have a great beginning, but you kept it going flawlessly and we thank you.
Susan Witte, Carla Jackson and Steve Lieblang, we can’t thank you enough for taking everything with such grace and doing a wonderful job. We had some long sessions and some late nights, but you all remained positive, energetic and were an exemplary group to work with.
To the guys that everyone loves to see in Center Ring, Carl Malicote and Ron Gikiere….you guys were nothing short of spectacular. There are no words that we can say that would show you our level of appreciation for all your hard work. Thank you for keeping up your enthusiasm all the way down to placing the very last ribbon on that final ride.
Mike Norris and Farrier team, thank you for keeping everyone shod, helping with the behind the scenes and saving the day a few times! You did some incredible work for exhibitor’s horses.
Bonnie Chatten, you always seem to have a way to get people through the gate and keep the show running smoothly. Thank you for always sitting on ready and willing to do any task. You are such an integral part of keeping the wheels on the bus and we can’t thank you enough for all you do.
On a final note, we hope that with the wrap of the 2025 Region 11 Championships, everyone left with memories that will last a lifetime!
To all of those heading to other shows, we wish you the best of luck and can’t wait to see you next year! Thank you!!!
