MISSOURI: Taressa and Baby Girl, an AQHA gelding, earned the position of High Point Rookie Pleasure at the Great American Trail Horse Festival hosted by ACTHA this November. Baby Girl was diagnosed with recurrent uveitis in May, and is basically now blind in her right eye. The almost complete blindness set in about a month prior to the festival, and still managed to earn High Point Rookie Pleasure as well as High Point Overall. Go get 'em, Baby Girl!
MISSOURI: John Pilkington riding for his first time ever with ACTHA during the Great American Trail Horse Festival... an event he will most likely not soon forget!

Huge congratulations to John on his win, and many thanks to Circle Y Saddles and Tucker Trail Saddles for being such AWESOME sponsors for ACTHA and the festival!
