Hello Corral readers! This is my first article here, so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Hannah Dunn. I have been active in the Ohio Paint Horse Club (OPHC) for a few years showing my Solid PaintBred mare Shez Sucha Sensation, or Maggie. Maggie and I are multiple American Paint Horse Association (APHA) World and Reserve World Champions. When not showing my Paint, I study English and Creative Writing at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.

The OPHC held their general meeting at the Champions Center (Springfield, Ohio) on Nov. 20, 2021. The club had a great turnout for the meeting and Lee’s Chicken catered the lunch. Members elected new officers, and the new officers are as follows: President: Tim Snapp Vice President: Luke Wadsworth Secretary: Heather Collins Nugent Treasurer: Jill Krofft Davis Director: Roxann Rohrl Director: Cindy Snapp Director: Deb Schroeder Director: Justin Russell Director: Roger Taylor Director: Sue Johnson Past President: Mike Schwendeman

We would like to extend our gratitude and say thanks to all the officers that served this year. 2021 was a great year for showing our Paints, thanks to all your hard work. Looking forward to next year, here is our tentative 2022 show schedule: *MARCH 5-6: Garwood Arena, Columbiana, OH

MAY 6-8: Zone 8 show, Cloverdale, IN

MAY 14-15: Buckeye

hay and muck buckets over ice and snow. And hand and feet warmers stuffed into your boots and gloves may seem obvious but so does a spare set of bibs and balaclava always hanging in the barn for those extra crispy tractor rides out into the frozen tundra. 2020 stunk. 2021 did, too. And Midwest winter stinks every year. I say, “Don’t go to war without your weapons, comrades, but let’s fly under the radar this year, mkay?”

Sarah Vas, a second-generation horsewoman, writes about her decades of adventure and mayhem among several breeds and disciplines, and countless equine educational endeavors both as student and teacher. Sarah owns and operates a continuation of her parents’ original business, Winfield Farm & Forge, Ltd., that which couldn’t currently exist without constant gratitude for Kevin, her very forgiving, ridiculously supportive husband. Together, they are quietly beginning to explore the Farm’s newest chapters, both in and out of the horse world. They are returning to Sarah’s family roots, this time as breeders of Arabian/ Welsh Sport Ponies for dressage and carriage while husband and wife indulge their pent up creativity producing a variety of rustic décor and iron work.
