Welcome Aboard, Washington State Horsemen!

by Karen Pickering

This past weekend, I had a fantastic time in Richland, WA, where the Washington State Horsemen Convention took place. The Red Lion on the Columbia River was gorgeous, and vendor booths included everything from handcrafted tack boxes to the latest in show clothing to computer software for horse show management.

The purpose of our visit for was for NWHS to create an alliance with WSH. This multi-breed, multi-discipline organization has something for everyone interested in taking their horse experience a step further. Their offerings include a show division, games, competitive trail and pleasure riding, and plenty of other options to make sure there is something for everyone interested in horses in the state of Washington.

WSH, established in 1941, is one of the largest equine organizations in the state. In affiliation with the Washington State Horse Council, WSH deepens its impact on the community through representation within the state legislation on issues that impact horse ownership.

It was great meeting so many amazing horse people over the course of the weekend. I look forward to participating in the club as a competitor, member and partner as we strengthen our community. I encourage everyone to join us in the coming months as we bring you news in every issue of the Northwest Horse Source as well as their own section online!
