Southern Horse Festival is this coming Fri.-Sun. in Raleigh

[LynnG]

Come by and visit the Piedmont PFHA Exhibit on the Breed Alley at the Southern Horse Festival at the NC State Fairgrounds Jim Graham Building... Friday 12n-7pm, Saturday 9am-7pm, Sunday 9am-5pm. Piedmont will have a Paso fino horse stalled by their exhibit area. There will be a Paso Fino demonstration late Saturday afternoon and also Sunday morning in the Dorton Arena building.

The Southern Horse Festival has lots of horse vendors to shop with, breed association exhibits to see, and new trainers/clinicians this year, plus continuous educational seminars throughout the days. This is the third year for the event, and second year for a Piedmont PFHA exhibit. Last year, it was fun to help with the booth as so many people stopped by to talk and learn about the Paso Finos. We have continuous Paso fino videos playing also..which folks stop to watch. We always get people who saw the Paso fino horses at the NC fair in October, and tell us how much they enjoy seeing them there.

Piedmont members Milda Minter, Ali Casey, myself will be helping with the exhibit....APF members: "Blameitonbrio" Jeany......Kerry......

Who else is coming? Its a great place to shop for horsey items and gifts.

Anyway...you can see the clinicians, events, seminars, etc this year at: www.southernhorsefestival.com :lol:

I'll be there late Friday afternoon or Saturday afternoon, don't know which yet. I have lessons Friday in the early afternoon and mom has lessons Saturday morning. But we'll get up there! Look forward to seeing people possibly...and I'll definitely stop by the exhibit.

Piedmont has its own display board this year (that one is the PFHA one), plus I am picking up the new exhibit signs and banners this week! We have a horse stall to decorate too this year. :lol:

OMG!!!! I hope it is not as exciting as Mundial.

Lynn, you know I will be there to help. I hope to see you Lana. I am looking forward to seeing the vendors too; that is my idea of good Christmas shopping!

I'll probably wear my apf.com tee shirt so people might recognize me! It's always fun to go an spend onbscene amounts of money on Pitty and my horsefolk friends :razz: Actually, I did that last night. I ordered a blanket for Mr. P from State Line Tack but it came i nthe wrong weight, etc...(and that's after all the ordering crap I went through) so we have to send it back. I called the local tack shop (shoulda done that in the first place) adn went over and bought Pitty a plaid Rhino Pony Wug last night! Can't wait to try it on him...it'll be nice to see him in a blankie that FITS!
