Competition Season is Around the Corner

by Karyn "K.C." Cowdrey

For those readers who enjoy the chance to compete, regardless the discipline or venue you prefer, show season is fast approaching!

Maybe this is going to be your first foray into the world of Extreme Trail Challenge, or perhaps your first time showing at the breed level. Possibly, this year is the first year you are going to try a green-as-grass novice working cowhorse class.  From endurance to dressage and everything in between, we’re all gearing up for the promise of spring and the competitive events that herald the season.

If you are a rookie entering the open showing world for the first time, you might want to check out the Hobby Horse Rookie Program, where you can compete for great prizes on a level playing field.  For more information, check out Hobby Horse's news release by clicking here. 

Another thing you might find useful to help you keep track of the upcoming events is the NWHS Events Calendar.  If you have not visited recently, check out our new, easier to read format. It's easier to post events now, as well!  

In the meantime, drop me a note at Karyn@nwhorsesource.com and let me know what kinds of events you're looking forward to this year or use our handy comments feature.  As always, get out and ride!
