It’s a wrap on a wonderful first year of Columbia horse shows! We are so pleased that so many turned out to support our efforts! There are so many to thank starting with our hard working volunteers, parents, spouses and significant others, membership and board members! A special shout out to our three outstanding judges; Georgia Dillon, Lhanze Kohr and Sally Collins! We had entries from Washington, Idaho and Montana! Thank you to all of our sponsors, without whom this would not be possible! We will publish a special appreciation to our sponsors next week! A huge shoutout and all of our gratitude to show secretaries Alayna and Janie!! There are some exciting additions coming next year including a 2’-2’3” Derby!! We hope you enjoyed the year with us, whether you made it to one, two or three shows!! Much thanks to USHJA and WSHJA for helping us launch our 3 show series! We had over 133 entries over the three shows, about 65 hotdogs and hamburgers sold, 300 + waters consumed, the soft opening of the Rusty Stirrup consignment and tack shop, the addition of a loudspeaker system that could be heard in the warm-up area, bona fide announcers, we’re still perfecting the alignment of our timers for the jumpers and we went from about 50% online entries for the 1st show to 95% online entries for the final show!! You all rock! We have big plans for 2025 and stay tuned for reservation Information for the year end awards banquet! .
