Pork Chops , Fried Chicken , Bar-B-Q with choices of the best mac n cheese , to die for potato salad , baked beans , slaw , the most amazing French fries I have EVER put in my hungry mouth !!!!!
I just don ’ t see how the day could improve buttttt witnessing the class after class of talented walking
horses I realized it just got better and better . A huge thank you to everyone who brought horses to show it would not have been the tremendous success it turned out to be without you ! Honestly I didn ’ t see a bad horse in the 190 that entered the gate . Remember that this is also a schooling show and for several it was their debut into a ring with numerous horses . The horses handled the show ring with proficiency equal to seasoned show horses . Thank you one and all for making the WHOA Show a tremendous success .
