HERO has decided to postpone our Sept 26 show at Forging M. We are aware of a show to raise funds for medical care of Bryan Kirby, a horse trainer known to many who was recently seriously injured in a horse accident.

We ask that you attend this show to help out the Kirby family. If you cannot attend and would like to show your support, there's GoFundMe and Supportnow.org pages setup for donations.

Please contact Elite Equine & Rodeo Co in Pittsboro, NC for show specific info.
