Question of the day???

How do we grow the number of entries in the western pleasure classes at the Appaloosa World????

Non Pro/Youth incentive for each class???
Award for leading breeder of western pleasure horses??
Award for leading exhibitor of pleasure horses???
Please post your ideas!!!!

We tried the Champion of Champions with a non pro cash incentive but only had three entries in the western and four in the hunters ? Very hard to keep sponsors engaged with this turnout.

We need some enthusiasm!!!!
