This year is well under way and plans for the 2008 Grand National show are already in the works. In an effort to "go green",
PFHA is sending out a pamphlet to each member which will ask them to return a portion of it to the office only if they would
like a printed copy of the Prize List mailed to them. The complete prize list will always be available on-line so if you can
do without the printed copy, please don't return the card!
"Celebracion del Paso Fino" is the theme for Nationals this year. We all gather at the shows, participate in parades and trail
rides, not only to see old friends and meet new people but to celebrate this wonderful breed. It is my hope that this year and
every year will be about the grace, beauty and fire of the Paso Fino.
Judges for the 2008 National Show are:
- Rick Shaffer
- Don Schanche
- Alice Page
- Willman Rodriguez
- Angelo Usategui
- Jorge Torres (1st Alternate if needed)
- Luis Laguna-Mimoso (2nd Alternate if needed)
Please note in the task pane to the right of the page, you will find all the information regarding the show. There are forms
which are available as well as a complete Prize List which can be downloaded and printed in its entirety or in parts. If you
plan to attend, please take a moment to read all the information carefully as there are deadlines to be met and certain rules
and regulation about which you may need to be aware.
Changes for the 2008 Show
-
The Youth portion of the show will be held on Saturday and Sunday, adding an extra day to the National Show. This
will hopefully decrease the number of days that these children would need to be absent from school as well as afford
them the opportunity to shine in their very own "National Show".
-
As stated above, a pamphlet will be mailed out to each member to determine who will need a printed version of the prize
list. It will be available on line as always for easy downloading.
-
The exhibitor party will be in the form of a "sit down" dinner complete with awards and a live band. Make plans to
attend this gala on Thursday night. Support and celebrate the Amateur Owner of the Year, Hall of Fame inductees, High
Point and Senior High Point winner as well as the High Point horse and Gelding of the Year.
