Around the Rings – 2023 Mason Dixon Color Classic

The 2023 Mason Dixon Color Classic, sponsored by the Pennsylvania and Delmarva Paint Horse Clubs, took place May 12-14, 2023, at Keystone Horse Center, in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

Judges were John Anderson (CO), Sally Puzacke (OH), Amy Watkins (OH), Rhonda Replogle (FL), Pam Scott (FL), and John Briggs (TX). The show manager was Lyn Fick.

The 6-judge show offered circuit awards for every class, and APHA plus all-breed competition, as well as free breakfast and a pizza party.

“The show committee for the Mason Dixon Color Classic would like to extend a huge thank you to all our exhibitors, sponsors, trainers, and family members that came to our show this past weekend and made it a huge success. We are very blessed to know so many wonderful people that believe in our show and in being stewards of the breed,” Carli Progin, PPHC Vice President.
