Schooling Horse Show - Winlock

With gas prices sky-rocketing, I know many of you might not be too interested in travelling a great distance to attend a horse show. Believe me, I feel your pain.

However, there is one show that (if you can muster up the gazillion dollars for gas) would be worth your time to check out.

The Good Life Stables Schooling Show in Winlock, WA is a low-key way for new riders and horses to get used to the show ring and have a great time doing it!

The shows generally bring 25 - 30 riders so the classes aren't hugely overwhelming to newbies (like me) and yet they are approved by APHA - PAC so advanced/intermediate riders can get paint points.

They offer a full class schedule (halter, showmanship, english, and trail) in all ranges (beginner horse, beginner rider, 17 & under, 18 & over, etc.).

The cost is very reasonable at $50 for the entire day or $8 per class. There are stalls available for an additional $10 and the snack bar is open serving breakfast and lunch items (you've got to try the baked potato and nachos!) during the show.

Parking is also very convenient with a pull-through parking arrangement for trucks/trailers.

Here are further directions and a map.

All in all, it's a great event for anyone and everyone! And who knows, maybe I'll see you there.
