Special thanks to Bruce Brown for sharing results and some great photos from the National Quarter Horse League Huntfield Medal Championships that recently took place October 7-8 at Lakeside Arena in Kentucky.
In addition to being a perfect layover location and warmup for those headed to the All American Quarter Horse Congress next week, the Medal Championships offered some great prizes! The winners of the Youth and Amateur Medal Championship classes each received a CWD Sellier bridle. Also awarded were special saddle pads, courtesy of Hassinger Equine & EHI.
In addition, there was a super fun, costume-themed Derby in honor of Andy Moorman. Scroll below to view fun photos and results.
