After the three day show weekend, Can we do a huge shout out to the husbands, wives, significant others, and family,
who support “ your little hobby” (as mine says),
with love, a lot of patience, maybe less understanding at times, a shoulder to cry on, arms to hug us, big muscles to help us, and a fantastic brain to help fuel all of our crazy ideas and plans. ❤️❤️❤️ we couldn’t do it without them.

Holy. Cow. We don't even know where to start except thank you! Please post your favorite memories in the comments; we love to see them!

Friday Night Lights 💡was fabulous! We saw some smoking runs, ate some really great food, and finally closed the registration booth at 11 pm! It was fabulous!

Saturday performance was a POWERHOUSE show! We had some deep classes with 12, 14, 19 exhibitors and you guys SHOWED! It's such a privilege to witness the work and dedication to this beautiful sport!

Sunday's Obstacle course was just flat out fun! Our exhibitors came out in force to what we hoped was a great pattern with challenging aspects (who knew those 3D archery targets would be scarier than the wavy man!?) and our reserve and grand champions got to go home with some cool swag!
Grand and Reserve in In Hand: Janet Rose and Olivia Noone
Grand and Reserve in PeeWee: Everleigh Toth and Holly Crozier
Grand and Reserve in Youth: Farrah Wilcox and Bethany Dorazio
Grand and Reserve in Open: Jane Miller and Hilary Dorazio

A huge thank you to our club members for your attendance, your volunteer hours, and your words of encouragement. We love you! To Rainbow Riders and their amazing food (and their hilarious dirty sodas this weekend!), you guys are the best! Thank you to our judges who were all encouraging, fun, and most importantly, well informed and fair!
