KEEP APRIL 28TH AND 29TH OPEN

Shelby Shank. All you have to do is hear her name, and those of you who know her, well, all you can do is smile. What a character. Shelby has been wrestling with her health . The bills are tough.  All of us want to do something to let Shelby know how much we care about her. Sooooo.. it's HORSE SHOW TIME!  Thanks to  Keith Marshall, Dave and Kathy Johnson, Tim and Sue Herrick - they are putting on what looks to be one fun event. The program boasts most all the classes that are found at the
"A" shows, but also many other classes like walk-trot, hunter hack, and the always popular crossrails. They are having a full range of jumper classes, starting at the 2í3 level, up to 3'9", and a full range of hunter classes. Also, they show great foresight in holding some western classes, pleasure and horsemanship. That ought to appeal to a lot of other area horseman, and I think nothing would be better for the juniors than to "broaden their horizons" and see something other than hunters at a horseshow. I miss that now , years ago  the most well-attended shows were the ones that featured different riding styles! There will be great prizes-too many to list- tentatively scheduled -  a raffle or silent auction for a breeding this year to the stallion Allaíczar, owned by Camille Greer of Gilbert, Az. He is considered to be, definitely, one of the leading hunter sires in the country. He is the sire of Osczcar, the regular working hunter who recorded the first "100" given as a score in the hunter division. His offspring have an unbelievable  record of success, and if your thinking of breeding this year, get in on the action at the show! Thank you to Camille for this wonderful gift.  This show will be a great  opportunity  to fine tune before heading up to the Prescott Memorial Day show, May 25th-28th . Mark your calendar for that. (Chris Collman, manager) 
Shelby is the best. She is a respected horseman, trainer, and friend to anyone she meets.   Every one of us is in her corner. I'll look forward to seeing you all there !!
