Heading East for the Weekend!

by Karen Pickering

This weekend I'm heading out for an adventure. A good friend, Barb Hento, and I are heading toward Kennewick, WA for the Washington State Horsemen's annual convention. I’m really hoping to see some snow on the way over, even though it can make for treacherous driving conditions - it’s just so pretty! I’m also anxious to learn more about one of our state’s largest equine organizations.

I love our state. Even though we get a great deal of rain, you can’t beat the Northwest for awesome mountains, the ocean and breathtaking trails. My perspective always changes from the back of a horse, no matter which of these settings I'm in. It’s my version of therapeutic riding.

It’s certainly a privilege to get an inside peek into an organization such as Washington State Horsemen. Heavily affiliated with Washington State Horse Council, this group does a lot to lobby for horse activities. It’s the synergy of a common group of people that makes such an event successful.

Check back next week for updates on what’s coming up from this organization!

Noooo snow, thank you! I'm not looking forward to pulling a horse trailer over the passes if there's snow or ice :)

I trust you had an enjoyable time, and perhaps we'll see a sneak peek at how mustangs are being added in the show line up??
