Perhaps the most fun classes to watch were the speed
events. Pole Bending and Barrels are always exciting to
watch, especially as the spectators are tasting wine, beer,
and other beverages members brought from their home
state. Ribbon Pairs tested how well 2 riders could get their
horses to move together while they held on to a length of
crepe paper. The team that was able to do the called
maneuvers without breaking or dropping the “ribbon” goes
home with bragging rights for the year. Reining and
Western Reining prove our horses can do it all. And
Showmanship and Model show how pretty they are working as flawless teams with their exhibitors.
Versatility classes always involve
laughter, fun, and new challenges.
You now have an entire year to
practice and join in the fun next
year!
