The Florida Color Horse Club Orange Blossom Show recently wrapped up their APHA/ApHC/All Breed 2 Judge, 2-Day Show January 21-22,2023, at Alachua County Agriculture & Equestrian Center in Newberry, Florida.
Judges were Sandy Curl and Ann Jones, and the APHA and ApHC Classes ran concurrently.
Besides some fabulous colorful competition, exhibitors enjoyed a Chili Cookoff and an Orange Baking Contest, and a Barn Relay on Saturday evening that included a sack race, a 3-legged race, egg and spoon, and a run to the finish! A great time was had by all.
“What a wonderful weekend ! Many thanks to all who made this possible, your work is appreciated! Can’t wait to come back and show again! Fun, food and many laughs, a great group of people at this show ! Thanks to the judges as well!” says exhibitor Nancy Massey Perkins.
