We can also use some volunteers to help out at the show.
We received a $100 gift certificate from Frontier Trailers & it was voted on at the meeting to use it as one of the prizes for our August Futurities.
There will be Open Futurities held at the August Open Show. The catagories so far include Weanling Halter, Yearling Halter, 2 & under Lunge Line & 4 & under Western Pleasure.
