"I'm really proud of my daughter, Nikki. We've never been here before, but the atmosphere makes it a nice place for her to compete and it makes it easier for us to watch her."

- Margarita Anderson


"This is a family-run atmosphere. This is a place where you can bring grandma and grandpa, too. It helps people get to know other families who enjoy riding and to make new friends."

At the end of the day, after all classes finished competing, fancy riding gear came off and horses and riders alike enjoyed themselves in Play Day, consisting of a variety of games such as Musical Tires and Egg and Spoon races all done on horseback.

"The play day was the best part of the day. It went great,
and everyone had a good time.

By the time play day rolled around, everyone was laughing and having fun. Everyone made at least two friends."

- Gail Rayher
"I thought it was a good show and that it was a family atmosphere and not snooty.

The games they have for everyone is such a great idea.

I would definitely enter this how again. Besides, I won three second-place ribbons. How could I complain?"
