I apologize for the delay on this post! Long post ahead...
Where do I begin? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Thank you to all of our AMAZGING EXHIBITORS who came out for such an amazing day! It was long, but mother nature certainly cooperated and gave us a beautiful day! The sportsmanship and horsemanship that we all saw was incredible! We so thankful that so many of you come year after year to show at the Lindsay Exhibition!
Thank you to our JUDGE, Stephanie Rutherford for going above and beyond to encourage all of our competitors! Your judging was impeccable and we look forward to seeing you in the future!
Thank you to our ANNOUNCER extraordinaire, Bill Keith for once again joining us to not just announce the LEX English & Western Horse Show but also the Welsh & Sport Pony Show in the next ring! It always amazes me how smooth you make our shows run! Your dad jokes are also pretty epic!
Thank you to our RING MASTER, Kim VanVolkenburg for keeping the show running smoothly and providing some humour along the way!
A HUGE thank you to all of the AMAZING Lindsay Ag Society STAFF: Rachel, Taylor, Rebecca, Bill and Ron for having everything SO organized ahead of the show and for Bill and Ron for making the show ring the BEST it has ever been! Many hours have gone into watering and harrowing the ring to make it safe for all of the horses and riders. Along with Dalton, Scott, Dave and all of the temporary staff for keeping the grounds so clean.
EXHIBITORS: If you feel so inclined, please write an email to show your support of this amazing team to: [email protected].
Thank you to our incredible COMMITTEE - Catherine, Bobbie, Laurie and Melissa, your help is SO appreciated! We work all year together to put on a great show for the fair and we succeed year after year! Thank you ladies!
Thank you to our VOLUNTEERS - Everyone who helped set everything up in the early morning (Patty, Melissa, Jeff, Ron, Kim, Gracelynn). Patty for organizing the prize tent and making sure that everyone was able to get a prize of their choosing, Gracelynn for being our Ribbon girl and helping out wherever needed (doing a lot of running around for this old gal). We look forward to having you back! Melissa for being our gate person, it may seem like a small job but it is actually a huge job! And thank you for being the loudest cheering squad to each and every rider! (I certainly have missed that).
I can not list all of these thank you's without making a special thank you to the Double H Ranch and the Hill family. The amount of times that your entire team has just stepped in to help out wherever needed makes me speechless! Your entire team of riders and helpers is an incredible barn family and you should all be proud!
During our games classes we had a lovely couple approach Kim and Stephanie to see if they could donate $50 to the top placing small pony in the Youth Pole Bending class. Thank you SO MUCH to Candy & Irvine for your generosity and for supporting our riders!
Thank you to ALL of the attendees for sitting in the bleachers and cheer on our riders! It was so nice to see SO many people enjoying the horse show!
Thank you to ALL of our amazing PRIZE DONORS!

Thank you to Wall It Wall Art for once again sponsoring our BEAUTIFUL BUCKLES for the Youth and Open Games!
One last thank you to my incredible husband, Jeff, for, well, putting up with me before, during and the exhausted person that I become after the fair. Your support is incredible and I could not do all of this without you!
If I have missed anyone, I am sorry, my brain is still in a bit of a fog.
I am looking forward to next year, with a few changes to come!
See y'all next year!
