The Golden Horseshoe
Annual Horse Show 2003:
Ninety-one horses competed in the 2003 show! Although it was hot the slight breeze made it bearable for the exhibitors and many members working as show staff.
The starter classes continue to be very popular and we are investigating ways to divide them up as well as offer additional classes. New this year and planned for next year is an English and western pattern class.
As always the trail class was heavily attended, with about two thirds of the horses entering.
The judge was George Peters of Schuylerville, NY
and Kat Caprio judged the trail classes which had about 60 entries.
Working in the entry booth were Nikki Vanderpool, club secretary,
Gail Swift, Sue Sutch, and Martha Macdonald. LouAnn Tubb and Carrie Brosnan were ring stewards.
Marilyn Miles was announcer and Deb Tompkins and Diana Coonradt handled the trail course.
