We had some crazy weather at this year’s Sonoita Quarter Horse Show! Unbelievable wind and rain, and those of us tenacious enough to hang in there got soaked showing and waiting to show! But it made for beautiful sunsets and rainbows, and our Team did an amazing job! Results coming soon! A huge Thank You to the Arizona Quarter Horse Association for taking over this historic show and making it a success despite the challenges! !
