WEBSITE REPORT FOR CLASSIC SHOW COMMITTEE

The ERAHC Classic Show Committee would like to invite everyone to join us for 2010 Shows. Last year we had a lot of fun and some great evening entertainment, plus great food. We again thank Miguel Coves and Dorothea Darden for sponsoring the wonderful Tapas. Friday evening was filled with several events as the wonderful exhibition by George and Amaera Felder, a beautiful Long Reining Demonstration by Pam Cohen, the Stallion Showcase, and finally the Costume Freestyle classes.

Saturday evening began with a delicious Southern Style buffet for everyone and then was followed by some beautiful exhibitions executed by Jorge Gabriel, Janet Tenney, and one of the Coves/Darden Spanish trainers. We would also like to thank Luis Leche for his "Good Will Reach Out" to invite the Paso Fino people to show us their wonderful horses during the Saturday night entertainment. And finally our evening was concluded with the exciting "Terry Tenney" Liberty Class.

The 2010 Shows are: ERAHC Open Classic Dressage on Thurs. Sept 2nd; and the ERAHC Classic Andalusain/Lusitano Show on Fri & Sat Sept 3 & 4. We have sent an application to ANCCE for doing another P.R.E. Show. We would have time on Sunday to do this type of show, but we need someone to volunteer to organize and manage this event.

Our shows will be at the Anderson Coliseum, which also provides the use of the Ault Pavilion, the Moore Arena, the Fletcher Arena, and the Wiley Arena.

We are looking forward to providing our usual Fun, Entertainment, Competition, and Educational Show.

Linda Denniston will be managing the Dressage Show; Julie Coon will be managing the Classic Breed Show.
