As always, the Magnificent 7 was the highlight of the Western State Horse Expo. The stands were packed and people were treated to come great horsemanship. An exciting drill team pattern was performed and the national anthem sang. A wonderful presentation from Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.). $1 from every ticket sold was donated to B.A.C.A. Several of the members drove their bikes on the sidewalk right in front of the stands. The entries of Project Cowgirl also made an appearance.
