Shazam
just say camera and his head and ears go up
By Glenda McCoy
In 2009, I wanted to try something new with my horse, so I went surfing on the web and found ACTHA. This is what I wanted to do. Sadly, all the rides were in Texas. So when spring was close, I went surfing again. They were having a ride less than 60 miles from me at Eagle Ranch in Collins, MO. I went and was instantly addicted!!!
My horse, Frank's Southern Shazam (Shazam) is a Missouri Foxtrotter. He loves ACTHA as much as I do. He loves to have his picture taken. Just say camera, and the head and ears go up. I love the teamwork we have together. He is my 4 legged soul mate.
We have made so many friends on this adventure. Not just friends, but lifelong friends. We cheer for each other and have a blast on the trails. We then go back to the campfire and talk about our adventures on the trails.

All of my medal awards and Gaited Saddle have been achieved at Eagle Ranch in Missouri. I will travel to other rides, but it seems I get my winning points there. It's kind of special where I got my start with ACTHA is where Shazam and I achieve our awards.
