| Grooms Class Returns, Sponsored by Caroline & Campbell Kahn This exciting class returned this year thanks to our sponsors, Caroline and Campbell Kahn, honoring the hardworking professionals behind the scenes. With a large crowd of perfectly groomed horses, our judge spent a lot of time making his decision. The winner of this class went to Royal Pointe Show Stables with their picture perfect horse groomed by Alejandro. |

| Best Tack Room Award Sponsored by Schneider Saddlery, the award for the most exceptional tack room presentation went to Cindy Foster of Cindy Foster Equestrian. The judges gave her the winning edge due to her excellent organization including a very detail oriented dry-erase board, tidy seating areas, and nothing scattered about from rider’s snacks to grooming supplies. |

| Over 175 Prizes & Giveaways This year we had over 175 donated prizes from our sponsors that went into the Trainer Buckets (each trainer received a flat-back horse bucket with goodies inside), Exhibitor Bags for every exhibitor, and then daily random drawings for trainers and riders. From equestrian products, supplements, gift certificates, and more. Almost every exhibitor this year won a prize just for attending! We Hope to See You in 2026!
