Smith and Joyner combined to compile approximately 4,700 of the 6,100 total votes in a two-week online vote, recognizing horse industry trainers who have made a positive impact in their communities through the demonstration of integrity, service and quality.

“The feedback I’ve received from exhibitors and show managers of these events has been very positive throughout the year. Many show managers have mentioned that these classes have brought in new faces and excitement of the awards to groups that they wouldn’t be reaching otherwise. Overall, it’s a great program that many are looking forward to again in 2019,” APHA Director of Shows Amanda Cormack said.
