Well, we had us a great horse show. This is the kind of AQHA horse show America needs. One that, families can come, do it your selfers can come and everybody can compete on the same level and have fun and win big prizes while doing it. There are so many people to thank. The behind the scene people, that make this all possible. Lauren Wilson , the best ring steward there is hands down. Ross Payne came from Colorado, to help, he didn't know what he got himself into. He was a sawdust guy, ring steward and chauffer for the judges .My boys Chase Duffy and Gage Dietrich got all the sawdust delivered and hung all of the fans. Our show secretaries did a wonderful job, Linda Geyer cant wait to have you back. Terri Sears Stalnaker and Carli Progin, did a great job announcing. Brenna Flaharty and Kate Ross did a great job scribing. Jesse Halterman kept the place immaculate. Julie McCutcheon delivered our huge custom made ranch gate, made all the trail patterns, that was huge. We have a great group at MSQHA, everybody pitched in and worked hard and long hours. Reena Lentz and Rachel Lentz were our showmanship walkers, Karen Colson Zepp , made sure things ran smoothly. The people that helped me on the gate, Maddie Rippeon and her sister Allie were great gate keepers ,as was Ashley Schaeffer We cant thank you enough. Deanna Smith Rippeon, Realtor, our fearless leader, bought us that wonderful Pizza dinner Saturday night. , Alicia Corkran Schwartzbeck, who not only worked the gate in the rain, but also kept track of getting everyone paid, her husband made us the best trail gate. She is awesome as well . Linda McArthur did a wonderful job on the ribbons as well as circuit awards, her daughter Kelsey McArthur, is an amazing photographer. Sabrina Ginn did an amazing job as always with all of the lead line prizes. I need to thank my family for all of their support, they have always stood behind me. Looking forward to seeing all the new friends i made last week at future shows Already making plans and gathering prizes for next year. Peace Out
