2013 SATURDAY MIDSTATES WINTER HORSE SHOW SCHEDULE!! DOWNLOAD THE SATURDAY SCHEDULE !!

 

The Snowing/Showing continues…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHere in Mason City we resumed competition today, but we still woke up to a fresh coating of snow.  Although, the amount was much more manageable and exhibitors and staff alike were able to arrive on the fairgrounds without delay.  Despite the fact that the snow continued on well into the late morning, the horse show kicked off without much trouble.

All the classes for the day had been moved to the indoor ring, which considering the circumstances, worked out very well as a show ring.  It was a bit of a ‘throwback’ show, as in the early years of showing in Mason City the indoor was used quite frequently.  There were even some requests to have Paul Sullivan, our excellent Jumper judge and announcer, to return to his original post of running the In-gate.  OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAAlthough, Paul politely declined and chose to participate from the judges stand, the show went off quite smoothly!  Mr. Jeremy Raleigh ran an excellent In-gate instead.

The horse show will continue tomorrow in the Indoor ring.
