During the first show, Joy Hays of Wetumpka placed second in "Open Reining" and earned enough points to make her eligible for the upcoming IHSA Western Regional Show to be held later this month. She also placed fourth in "Open Western Horsemanship."
Andrea Luckie of Alexander City placed second in "Novice Western Horsemanship."
