For the past 10 days, I have been in Upper Michigan at the UPQHA Summerfest series. There were eight days of showing with a total of eight judges along with two exhibitor parties, an ice cream social, and the annual beanbag toss tournament and calcutta. I don’t mean to brag, but my mom and I took home the championship title this year! There are a ton of rookie and novice classes, and the show is very laid back and inviting, especially for those who may be just starting to participate in AQHA shows. Everyone works really hard to keep the show going and volunteer a lot of their time, so I wanted to see what those behind the scenes had to say about running a horse show.

I interviewed four people that help to work the show: Zoe Miller, Gail Lampinen, Janelle Rymer, and Treasa Schumann.
