Congratulations to All Riders in the Nov. 2nd Halloween Show

Submitted by Helen on November 7, 2008 - 1:06pm.

Everyone was a winner at this show. Eleven gorgeously costumed riders competed Sunday November 2nd at the annual Halloween Horse Show. A cat rode Lily. An Indian princess rode Magnolia. Fairies rode Apache, Scotchie and McCloud. A Snow Queen and Santa himself (herself) made an appearance. Funniest winner was Coal in the Apple Eating Race! Check out pictures of the Halloween costumes and the jumping demonstration.

We'd especially like to thank our morning judge Allison and our afternoon judge Olivia. Jordan made all the goodie bags for the participants. Mrs. Wittig ran the snack table. Big thank-you's to both of them. The "Heifer" charity organization will run our Christmas Party Show food stand too. Mark your calendars for Sunday, December 14th.

We hope that everyone can come to see the riders this Sunday, November 2. The jumping classes will allow our instructors a chance to see who might be ready for an away show. There will be a high jump demonstration during the noon break. At 1:30, the costumed junior riders will enter the ring for games and contests of riding skill.

There will be a bake sale going on. Some "real food" will also be available!
