Geauga Horse and Pony Association’s (GHPA) Friday night contesting shows are a hit! There will be a contesting show the third Friday in August and September as well. Be sure to sign up online the day before. The fourth and final open show is Aug. 14. Entries need to be in by 10 a.m. on Aug. 13. Find the showbill and all of the show information at ghpa.us.

At the July open show we had a record amount of reach entries. The fun class was surprise equitation, riders had their backs to the ring and were then given 45 seconds to look over the pattern before performing it.

GHPA is thrilled to offer an equestrian workshop put on by Courtney Crawford, an Equestrian Performance Expert of Chardon Physical Therapy on Aug. 7, beginning at 11 a.m. This workshop will be held in the East Show Ring’s Pavilion at the Geauga County Fairgrounds.

Many youth members are gearing up for the Great Geauga County Fair over Labor Day weekend. GHPA runs the food booth outside the East show ring. Stop by to say hi and to enjoy some delicious food!

A HUGE THANKS

GHPA thanks Big Dee’s Tack for their generous support of our organization through their Bonus Buck’s program. Likewise, thank you to Schneider’s Saddlery for their generous support. We really appreciate the support that both of these wonderful companies give to us.
