NWHA Challenge

The NYSPWHC CHALLENGE!!

A Roll Call for the States

The National Walking Horse Association has been selected to represent and demonstrate the abilities and versatility of the natural Walking Horse at the WORLD EQUESTRIAN GAMES in Lexington, Ky next year.

The New York State Plantation Walking Horse Club (NYSPWHC) and individual members have contributed $750 to help build the NWHA display booth that will be in the Equine Village at the Ky Horse Park from September 25th - October 10th in 2010.

We hereby issue a challenge to all state organizations and individuals to join us in support of the natural gaited Walking Horse at the WEG. In coordination with NWHA, NYSPWHC will keep a scoreboard of the number of donations pledged from every state on our club website. See the NWHA website for tax deductible contribution information at http://www.nwha.com/WEGsponsorship.html.

"Georgia accepts New York's challenge! The Sound Trail And Rail Society (STARS), http://www.starsoundhorse.com/starsoundhorse/Welcome.html , matches NYS Plantation Walking Horse Club's pledge of $500 to NWHA to be used to make the World Equestrian Games at the KY Horse Park a "WORLD CLASS EXHIBITION" and encourages other states to do the same!
