With four days of the 2012 Youth Nationals already behind us, we're at the point where the eventful days have started to mold together seamlessly, cuts have been made and conversely, not made, and several national championships have been awarded as well. Yes, Youth Nationals is in full swing! The summer Albuquerque weather has cooperated wonderfully so far, which always makes for a more enjoyable horse show. Late afternoon showers keep the dust down, and when it's all just too hot to handle, there's always the option of making the trek up to Tingley to chill with an Icee or some cookie dough ice cream! And still, as in years past, the competition is incredible. Every class that I've watched has left me with a sense of pride and inspiration for the future of the Arabian horse. The horses are first-rate and the riders have the skill and talent to match, class after class. But Youth offers so much beyond the competitive classes; it's a show that has events and parties nearly every day to ensure that everyone involved has a great time. Just in case you're not here to be a part of the daily events, here's a recap of what you've missed!
FRIDAY: AHYA Convention
SUNDAY: Parade of Regions
MONDAY: Stick Horse Contest
And there's so much more to come! Stay updated on Youth Nationals with pictures, blog posts, tweets, and more from AHT through the week! Thanks for your time and comments are welcome!
