Coming up this weekend at the 2023 AQHA Convention, EWD Halter is on the Show Agenda for consideration as well.  One of the proponents of addition is Karen Strom-Torrice, a Halter exhibitor with deep roots in the industry; she also happens to be the mom of Shea, who has down syndrome.

Shea hit the show pen in Halter for the first time in Fall 2022 at the Breeders Halter Futurity. See our story about their experience last fall:

The Open Arms of the Breeders Halter Futurity

 

Karen shared the video link below with the Equine Chronicle, saying,” If you could please share the information for all people, big & small with disabilities, that would be great. I included this video to assist!”
