✨ We’d like to take a minute to celebrate the second and third generation horsemen and horsewomen who absolutely shined at KASPHA! ✨

These kiddos get an extra dose of the behind-the-scenes work, blood, sweat, and tears that go into this industry. From early mornings to late nights, they’ve grown up learning what it means to work hard, support one another, and love the sport. ❤️🐴

We are so proud to celebrate their accomplishments and grateful for the continued support their families bring to KASPHA year after year!

👏 Clara Case
👏 Chandler Simpson
👏 Braden Haggard
👏 Hanley Roos
👏 Cora Ferreira
👏 Cash Lowry
👏 Reid Philpot
👏 Cam Kreitzer

The future is bright! 🌟🏆
