Rain Didn't Dampen the Winter Carnival Show

Despite the steady downpour Friday that lasted into the evening, the Winter Carnival show was a success.  A big thank you to all the riders and trainers who were game enough to brave the elements ( and mud) to make it happen! 

The ring drained really well, so jumping wasn't a problem.  We just had to be a bit creative with the parking so that the day didn't go from a horse show to mud bogging adventure.  Good job to everyone who trailered in without getting stuck!

Payne kept everyone well fed, and his chicken was a hit once again.  Fortunately for my waistline, we sold out of most of the items.  I like left overs, but after the fourth day it gets to be a bit much.

Our beginner divisions were the largest with about seven riders in both the A and B sections,  many of which went on to show over crossrails.  We were happy to see two riders battling it out in the three foot division and hope to offer more competition at this height in the future.

Thanks again for all of the competitors and volunteers who made it possible.  We certainly couldn't do it without the support of our QRF clients and the local horse community.
