2012 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show

This past week the team has been busy volunteering at many events at the 2012 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show. One of the events that we were able to be a part of was the Stallion Auction that happened Wednesday night. We worked together to collect information from the winning bidders at the auction and to help with anything else that the AAHA needed. We had an absolute blast getting to know all of the other volunteers as well as some of the other members of the Arizona Arabian Horse Association. We will definitely be looking forward to volunteering at this event again next year!

All throughout the week team members helped with other events including: barn tours, meet an Arabian horse, throwing hats to the crowd, and instructional demonstrations. One of the highlights of the week was getting to see how excited spectators were to get their picture taken with an Arabian horse in native costume. Another highlight was helping with the barn tours. The tours allowed visitors to look inside exhibitor's barns and see behind the scenes of the show. Each tour was extremely crowded with one of the tours exceeding 300 people! It was great to see that people are interested in the show but also learning what goes into getting prepared for the show.

We would just like to extend a huge thank you to the Arizona Arabian Horse Association for allowing us to volunteer and spend the week with them at the show. We look forward to coming back next year!

Congratulations to the team for winning regional high point team! This is the first year that the ASU Western division has ever won regional high point team. After a round of two shows last Saturday, we were able to beat CPP by a few points. We are now preparing for Semi Nationals which will be held in Ohio at the University of Findlay. We will be taking five riders with us and are hoping to make it to the Nationals in May.

Also, congratulations to Heidi and Krista! Heidi qualified to compete at semi-nationals in the advanced division as an individual. Krista will be competing at Nationals with the top riders in the reining division!
