There is an in depth write up about the Western New York Horse Show on the AMHA website. Looks like there are some new happenings going on including many Dressage classes and the following In Hand class:
New this year is the Western New York Classic, a special in-hand class for two-year-olds & under. This class provides an early season event for owners and breeders to show off their young stock and compete for a total of $2,500 in prize monies! NYSMHS is pleased to have Corcel, Inc. as sponsor of this class.
For more information, check out the article on the AMHA website or the New York State Morgan Horse Society website.
