The Sacramento Horsemen’s Association (SHA) held a Western Schooling Show on July 20, 2017 at 7:00pm. This was one of four shows for the mini summer schooling show series. The average class size was about six to seven horses in each class. Western pleasure, western equitation, ranch horse, and trail classes were available for this show (no halter classes at these shows). They offered awards for 1st place and ribbons for those who placed 1st-5th. The class entry fees were very inexpensive compared to other local horse/schooling shows. It really is the perfect place for a new rider or green horse to get the experience they need in a show environment without breaking the bank. SHA is under new managment and they have clean restrooms and a great snack bar/kitchen area for dinner, snacks, and refreshments. I noticed the judge made time to give feedback to those who needed it or requested it. Two warm up arenas and round pens were open for competitor to use to get ready for their classes. SHA has one English Schooling Show left and that will be held on Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 7:00 pm. They are thinking of holding a mini fall schooling show series too.
