Over the River...

Over the river and through the woods, to the Quarter Horse Congress we go
The trailer knows the way, we've packed up the hay, and off we go to the show...
Over the river and through the woods, Chevy and Kramer are sure to have fun
It's 40 degrees and if we said please, would there possibly be any sun?

Today, we are packing the trailer full of gear- both human and horse so that Amber and the Boys (Chevy and Kramer) can take a field trip to the All American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus Ohio. Chevy is 6 years old and has shown at the Congress 3 times (not this year!) earning a Top 5 Honor in the Three Year Old GMC Western Pleasure class.

For both our non-horsey and our horsey readers, here are a few statistics about this Horseapalooza!
 The Congress is:
Celebrating its 43rd year
The World's Largest Single Breed Horse Show
Will have more than 17000 entries this year alone
Attracts more than 650,000 visitors each year
Contributes more than $110 million to the local economy
Houses more than 10,000 Quarter Horses over 3 weeks

This event is unparalleled in the Horse World. To earn an award here, is to achieve a great accomplishment!

We are going on a shopping, riding, buying, selling, eating, meeting, greeting, enjoyable few days...

See you when we return!
