Huron SDQHA Shows

I so enjoyed being at my first South Dakota AQHA show of the year and seeing my old friends and making new friends. I wish I could have taken in the novice show on Thursday, but I did greatly enjoy attending the 2008 Johnny Cavelle Aberdeen Dance Recital and watching my daughter dance. Welcome to all the new and returning members to the SDQHA. I hope you enjoy your ride with the SDQHA.



The Huron shows were blessed with beautiful weekend weather (I did hear that Thursday was a bit wet). The South Dakota State Fair grounds was bursting with activity all weekend. In addition to the SDQHA shows, the fair grounds hosted a dressage show, stock car racing, Wheel Jam, and many music shows. Nobody should have ever found themselves board over the weekend. The novice youth division was the largest division, seeing many classes with double digit entries. It is nice to see such an active SDQHYA group. If anyone has any pictures from shows throughout the season feel free to email them to me (info@sdqha.com) and I will try to post what I can on the website.



Please watch http://www.sdqha.com/ and this blog for more information and discussion to come regarding the future of SDQHA sponsored shows. The SDQHA would like to know what you would like to see in future for 2009 SDQHA sponsored shows.

Hard Decisions II

FYI- Trigger is doing great, and even accompanied me to the SDQHA Huron shows. Sparky is doing great! She has resumed her habit of pawing (with the injured leg) while eating her grain. Both will fully recover with just a slight limp. I now know my hard decisions were the right ones, even though I will be making some monthly payments for them:)
