395-3-151.) Describe your involvement in the Arabian horse breed as a volunteer, and what your accomplishments are:
I am one of three people who started and put together the Wednesday night event for the AHDF. I also was heavily evolved in the AWPA sponsorships and the brochure.
2.) What are some of the highlights and successful moments involving the Arabian horse for you in 2015?
I had a great year!! I was National Champion Purebred Western 40 & over AOTR in Canada. I was also reserve in the Purebred Westetn Maturity at Nationals. Both with Monaco. The highlight of my year was showing Starry Spumoni to a top 10 in the half Arabian Western 36-54. I had not shown her in 15 years and it was a magical moment for me!! Also Monaco win the Jr horse with Joe Reser. That was pretty cool. I also still can’t get over the Wednesday night event. Gives me goosebumps to think about that night!!
