The grand, immaculate and lush grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park were the scenes of “The” Big, Big Show! Trainer and coach of fellow Students, (who trailered in from as far as Colorado,) Roz Kintzler, said it best when she said, “Margee Koffler” is a wonderful organizer so try to take advantage of as many events as you can.” Since I always listen to my coach, I did and was grateful for the entertainment “heads up.”

Show secretary Susan Peacock really sweetened the lucky entrants of the competition by offering up a fabulous dangling carrot in the form of a “horse-show Harley” as a drawing for just completing a perfect entry. This shiny little scooter had my name all over it. after all, what are the chances when I normally have a little “incident” or two on my entries, and honestly could not win a set of broken, Ronco steak knives. It was not to be, for me; however, lucky fellow “perfect entry contestant,” Jennifer Hunt did take home the bacon.

The rest of us were given a nicely dressage themed water bottle for our efforts and an opportunity to ride in the awesome arenas of the horse park which were provided by Premier.
