Remember to always demonstrate good horsemanship and sportsmanship. We are showing to become educated riders and most of all have fun. Shows are a learning experience and require patience. At the end of day it is not just about the ribbons .Its about what works what does not, the perfect fence the not so perfect fence and team work between all of us and our horses.

Good luck in 2010!
