Remember to bring your horse blankets!!

To all of our wonderful exhibitors who competed at our show this weekend - THANK YOU.

To the best VOLUNTEERS - without you, there would have been no show - THANK YOU.

The show must go on ??
The show DID go on !!
so.....I took myself to Lexington last week and settled into the glorious Blue Ridge mountains for the weekend...

and....once in a while, I crept out of my hole (show office) and took off down the hallway to the coliseum....

where....I snuck past my Ring 1 steward and emerged into the fall air and....

lo and behold!....an enormous championship horse show unfolded around me......

and......everywhere I looked, a blue-clad VADAteer was stewarding a ring and smiling, or

gatekeeping a championship and smiling, or running tests thither and yon and......you got it.....SMILING!

ENORMOUS HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE WHOLE WORK-FORCE!!!!!.....You guys are the absolute best...rock on!

WITH OUR MOST SINCERE APPRECIATION,
THE GAIG / VADA SHOW STAFF
