All Breed Horse Show Association kicked off the season with a clinic on Saturday April 22, 2017.  This proved to be a huge success with 30 people attending.  Participants were split into three groups: beginner, intermediate, and advanced and rotated every two hours to either horsemanship, trail, or showmanship arenas to learn something new.  A good time was had by all and prizes were given at the end of day for most improved.  Thank you to our clinicians; Robin Alden, Gina Macfarlane, and Cindy Difrancesca for all your time and expertise.

   ABHSA is excited for the first horse show coming up on May 13th and would like to invite anyone interested in showing to come join the fun.  There will be a total of four shows this season: May 13th, June 24th, July 8th, and August 5th.  Each show will include three divisions; English classes, Western classes, and Speed events.  Participants may show in any or all divisions with age groups ranging from lead line to adult.  Those who are members of the club and attend at least 3 of the 4 shows will be eligible for year-end awards at our October banquet.

A highlight of our season last year was a trail ride with an authentic chuck wagon meal that followed.  This social gathering is in the planning stages and is sure to happen again this year with a date still to be determined.  This event is a social gathering with no competition involved.  All of ABHSA’s gold and platinum sponsors will be invited and treated to the chuck wagon meal as a thank you for their sponsorship.
