Just over a year ago, the ASAW community unexpectedly lost a very special young friend. Hanna Agathen remains loved by all who knew her. Her memory is an inspiration to young riders and artists and her beautiful spirit remains in our hearts, particularly at the Summerfun Horse Show.

It was our humble honor to award the inaugural Hanna Agathen Memorial Perpetual Trophy to the Saddleseat Equitation Champion, Madalena Mollica.

This class will henceforth be known as the Hanna Agathen Memorial Saddleseat Equitation Championship 🏆

The perpetual trophy is topped with an original sculpture of Hanna and CH Fine By Me (Tucker) crafted by artist Dan Williams.

We welcomed Hanna's family and friends to present this beautiful memorial and join us in loving remembrance of Hanna. 💐

Video of the full presentation is attached.

One of our goals this week was to focus on how the American Saddlebred and Hackney Ponies help make meaningful family memories. The Weems/Treiber family has been making memories for 3 generations!

Kate (Mimi) Weems, Thea Treiber and Lauren Treiber, along with Walsh Products have been tireless cheerleaders of our industry. What a treasure to have the three of them together this morning to tell viewers about how the American Saddlebred and Hackney Pony have enriched their lives for so many years.

Thank you!!

A beautiful Sunday morning at ASAW Summerfun Horse Show and we welcomed WISN 12 NEWS for four live segments featuring several of our fantastic riders, horses, and ponies.

It's been an amazing week in Milwaukee. Our horse show generated enough excitement that four news stations spent time with us 🎉. We saw many new faces in the coliseum last night and we gave them a great show.

We'll post each segment individually with appreciation to everyone who supported our promotional efforts.

ASAW is pleased to welcome Connie MacQueen as our VIP exhibitor at the Summerfun Horse Show!

Connie was the high bidder on our VIP Experience at our awards banquet earlier this year.

Just a small part of that experience includes a reserved parking space at the show, charcuterie and wine delivered to her before the show, a pizza party and gift cards to great restaurants.

We are grateful to Connie for her support of ASAW. Give her a big "HI" and "THANK YOU" when you see her around the show!
