WHOA Versatility Show
October 13, 2019 • Brownsville, Kentucky
The WHOA Show in Brownsville, Kentucky was held
on a delightful day. One couldn’t ask for a more perfect
“horse show day.” Sunny yet not hot with a nice breeze.
Obviously others thought the same thing as 260 entries
made the gate call! Over 400 entries for the weekend
is awesome in my book in this day and time and with
FREEZING weather on Saturday. Trust me a fire would
have been nice Saturday night.
The Edmonson County 4 H Club always has the
items in the concession stand that one needs. For exam-
ple, chili, hot chocolate, hot coffee, and chili dogs really
hit the spot BOTH days. The exhibitors and spectators
appreciate the 4 H taking such good care of us. The 4 H
youth work hard to be sure the Brownsville Show series
goes well. They cook, hand out ribbons, run entry sheets
back and forth and show!!!! There were 14 in the 4 H
Youth Class!!!!
Angie Runnels made the drive from Cape Girardeau,
Missouri to place the horses. She had her work cut out
for her as the ring was filled with nice horses class after
class. Angie did a great job and was ably assisted by
ringmaster Randy Laurentius. It is neat when we have
judges that are unfamiliar with the horses and riders and
just tie them as they see them on that particular day. 
 Two reasons the Sunday show had more entries was;
an exhibitor may show a horse more than one time plus
the fact that versatility classes were offered in the morn-
ing of the Sunday show. The versatility classes are always
filled with adult AND 4 H youth.  51 versatile horses
showed Sunday morning helping to boost the Sunday
entry level. Thank you! I love seeing how the versatile
horses improve with each outing.
Kudos to Dalaina Northern and Whiskey & Ivory for
their speedy runs. Dalaina  had been working hard on
these events and she blazed her way to TWO blues!
Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee horses performed
with excellence both day. WHOA extends our thanks
to each of you that showed up, braved the weather, and
made for a fantastic weekend. THANK YOU!
