Attention competitors!

Your payback checks are on the way. They come from Stockman bank's bill pay system so be on the lookout. They look like junk mail. 😉 Supposed to arrive around August 4.

Hey Everyone, I just had a great question I thought I should answer for everyone here too.

While I admit (Kristin Aus here) that I occasionally talk about this show in terms of how much we enjoy seeing the kids and their horses, this is absolutely a show for ALL AGES of people and ALL AGES of horses. We have Leadline classes for kids 6 and under who have an adult walking beside them, leading the horse. We have 9 and under walk - trot classes, our main divisions are for people 14 and under and for those 15 and older. We also have Jack Benny classes for people 39 and older who don't want to compete against the kids. ;-) Then we have Ranch Horse classes and Walk Trot classes for all ages of riders - a great place for young horses or adults wanting to ease into things.
