MHSA-Missouri Horse Shows Association

Yesterday MHSA Board members delivered a check to the Saddle Horse Museum in Mexico, Missouri. This check represents the remainder of our funds. The museum is in the process of reorganizing and purchasing new cases for their displays (including our perpetual trophies), so the money will certainly come in handy.

As many of you may know, Erica (Thompson) Jobe passed away last week. Her family has asked that her friends be informed that they are invited to a Celebration of Erica's life on Saturday, March 8 at the Simmons Stables, 701 West Boulevard St, Mexico, MO form 2 to 4pm. Erica had requested that a party be held for her 'send off', so the family will be hosting a barn party reminiscent of those at Skyrim Stables, her childhood home, from many years ago. As this is in a stable, please dress accordingly. We will have heaters inside to keep us warm if the weather remains cold. There will be refreshments, a traditional Native American Prayer, a reading from John Neihardt's collection, but mostly, love and socialization to celebrate Mom's life. Friends of Erica are invited to attend.

We are sorry to announce that we will not be holding the show in 2025. We hope to be back stronger and at the new American Royal Facility in the future.
