August 13th - 19th, 2013
How I see it.
You all may remember the winter and spring where the focus was on english and jumping.
Well the awards presentation for the D'Alonzo Winter/Spring show season was this last weekend.
Larry and Donette do a very nice job with their show series. And the awards presentation is one of few where they honor the horse for their participation.
Notice arrives by e-mail, confirmation to plan to attend the awards ceremony and the date is set.
Cleaned up, and dressed up we showed up, excited and so very proud of our horses and our commitment to our sport.
Larry began the announcements, calling the division title and naming the prize winning horse and rider.
Who then enter the arena to be met by Donette with her great smile and she adorns the horse with a great neck ribbon and a streamer rosette ribbon.
Along with a monogrammed goodie, Silver buckles to the High Point Champions. For reserve, where padded saddle bag protector/carries.
Finalists received, bridle bags, stable sheets, jackets, and the like.
Then a flutter of camera flashes and pictures with Donette.
Then the award winner is ushered to their place to stand proud and cheer for the next recipient.
When all the awards have been announced instructions are given to parade a lap of the arena.
The procession begins and the music plays, the theme song from the Rocky movies.
The crowd cheers and it is amazing to watch the horses fully enjoy this recognition as they display their ribbons and prizes to the cheering crowd.
Thank you all for your commitment to your skill and the development of your horse.
