youngster a chance to show.

TWO HUNDRED SIXTY TWO
entries!!!!! Astonishing for a day
predicted to be raining and cool----
heck fire 262 is amazing no matter if
the weather is perfect.
Riley Eilerman from Union
Kentucky ---waaaaay up in northern
Kentucky ---made the long haul
worthwhile as
International Champion, He’s
Armed and Charmed captured more
than one blue for Riley.
So many folks need thanking for
their hard work in the pouring rain.
At the top of the list is Larry Starnes.
Larry does so much work prior to
the show then he is always willing
to lend me a hand building the trail
course, western riding, poles and/
or barrels + any and everything we
ask him to help us accomplish. At
this show Larry proved to be the
“Big RIG Unsticker” as he pulled
the stuck horse trucks and trailers to
high ground with the tractor. Add
Sput Hotchkiss to the list that deserve
thanks as he opened and shut
the gate in the inclement weather
the entire show and helped pack up
when the show was over. As I have
said in Bits N Pieces---It Take A Village!
WHOA extends their heartfelt
thanks to any and all for whatever
help was given. We cannot host a
show without everyone’s help and
you are appreciated..
