Due to a lameness issue, Kendall Lumley and her horse Cracker Jack Impulse were unable to compete past their first day, but with the support of the other PHBA members attending the show, Kendall was still able to blow it out of the park with a few other horses.

We also had an “extra” youth with us, Anna Kate Foster, and her horse Genuine Lil Redman, who wound up being the ARHA Novice Youth Champions.

We would like to send out a very heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this happen! Your support means the world to these “kids”. This isnt just a pastime for them, this is their passion. This is their life. This is the path that they have set their course to follow. Every one of these young ladies is aiming for a career in the equine industry. They are our future!
