MQHA’s 2014 Dixie National Quarter Horse Equestrians With Disabilities (EWD) Show was a SMASH hit with a record 94 AQHA entries! Exhibitors from many different states including Texas and Louisiana came to Jackson, MS. to show to four AQHA judges and get a taste of southern hospitality that The Southern Classic is known for.
MQHYA donated a special Dixie National EWD T-shirt designed by MQHYA member Sabrina Turner and some members were on hand to volunteer as well to make sure that each exhibitor received t-shirt.
In addition to MQHYA, and MQHA volunteers, there were representatives from TNQHYA, MS 4-H as well as students from local high schools. We even had Miss Rodeo America Paige Nicholson on hand to help present ribbons and take a photo with the composite winners! It was great to see so many giving back to an amazing event!
Sponsors for the show were US96.3 Jackson’s Country Music Station, Martin Farm, Reunion Farms, Masterson Farms and Terri & Keith Robinson. All of them were also volunteers!
2015’s Dixie National Equestrians with Disabilities Show is already in the planning stages! Come join us!
