WHOA Show Series
Brownsville, Kentucky • June 30 & July 1
WHOA hosted two hot shows in Brownsville, Ken-
tucky on June 30th and July 1st. To say they were Hot
is an understatement---true the horses were very nice
and strutted their stuff but the weather was hotter that
four kinds of H$*L!!! Hats off to all the exhibitors that
braved this heat to support WHOA and show their tal-
ented walking horses. 218 exhibitors walked thru the
show gate (AND we missed you Sput!!!) on Saturday
with 118 making the call on Sunday. Keep in mind that
Sunday’s show did not offer versatility classes. WHOA
thanks ALL of you for supporting our Kentucky shows.
I need to mention one of our exhibitors that exhibit-
ed a cool demeanor the entire show---Maggie Moore-
--always presenting her horses with beauty, style and
grace. I heard one person say---before the show when
Maggie was as casually dressed as I have ever seen her
working her horse in the warm up ring----even on a
bad hot day SHE LOOKS FANTASTIC and they are
right! Don’t know how you manage to be so cool look-
ing but you do!
The Saturday Show was capably judged by Mrs.
Bobbikay Hein of Michigan and in Sunday’s Show
the equally capable, Dennis Hills of Missouri marked
the cards. Both judges did an excellent job, not only
accessing the talent presented but in moving the show
along with speed but not haste in the heat. Thank you
to both of these judges.
Bobby Richards Stables showed several times with
winning results. Kevin Marker, Bobby and others did a
fantastic job.
Again WHOA had exhibitors showing for the very
first time ever! WHOA is especially proud to have
new youth in the ring. The Edmonson County Pony
Express brought several new youth to show and all
did a fantastic job. Please remember that Monday,
JULY 30th is 4 H DAY at THE INTERNATIONAL. 4
H Members will not have to pay an entry fee for 4 H
Classes nor will they have to be a member of WHOA
for the 4 H Classes. IF they choose to show in other
classes, AND we hope they do, then the 4 H member
will pay the applicable fees for that class. Please pass
the word to any 4 H member you might know. Oh ---
the 4 H Classes are open to ANY breed of horse!
Again THANK YOU for supporting our WHOA
Shows in Kentucky!
