Our team had a great first show of the season! This show is always a little hectic, being the first one of the season and us hosting. Our team did an amazing job both riding and helping keep the show running smooth. We had a great turn out for our silent auction! Thank you everyone that participated. We also would like to thank all of our horse donors, these shows can’t run without you! Our next show will be hosted by Adrian and Ferris State on November 7th at the Nancy G Held Center!
