We admit it, we’re a little late posting this video. Sorry, Teddy! But we still wanted to share it because it says so much about what IMHA shows are all about.
If you’ve been on the fence about joining us, we hope this encourages you to take the leap, no matter where you and your horse are right now.
The truth is, if you never enter the gate, set a goal, or raise the bar for yourself, it’s hard to know what you and your horse are capable of. Showing gives you a place to start. It gives you feedback, scores, goals, and a chance to keep improving every time you step into the pen.
IMHA shows are designed for all levels of riders and mustangs. If you’ve never shown before, we want you to feel supported. If you’re seasoned, we want you to feel challenged. Creating classes that welcome both is not always easy, but when we see the incredible people and horses in this community, we know it is worth it.
At the end of the day, you and your horse are truly only in competition with yourselves. That’s what makes showing so rewarding. It’s not just about ribbons. It’s about progress, confidence, partnership, and finding out what’s possible.
We hope Teddy’s video encourages you, and we hope you’ll join us at a future show.
Pssst… there’s one coming up in July at Oregon Horse Center.
