We will miss seeing the Mark Messenger Memorial Hitch! Wishing them the best on their next adventures.

The National Western Stock Show will feature the final performances of Cheyenne, Wyoming's Mark Messenger Memorial Hitch. They've had an incredible run, and while we are sad to see the curtain lowered on their competitive program, we wish them well and hope to see them at future draft horse events. Brian Coleman, Raedene Messenger and Kirk Messenger: have an outstanding final show in Denver.
