IaAHA NE District Cattle Congress Fun Show

Well, this was the first year the NE District held their Cattle Congress Fun Show.     We only drew in 15 horses for the day, but we managed to get everyone to enter LOTS of classes throughout the day so the show was a tremendous hit!!  We even had a couple that drove in all the way from Albany, Wisconsin to come to the show.  Everyone had so much fun that we're going to try to do it again next year!!

2007 IaAHA Spring Arabian Show

Numbers were down a little bit at the 2007 IaAHA Spring Show because of the cold weather; however, we still had 92 horses entered.      The Youth, once again, held a spectacular Silent Auction to raise money for their activities throughout the year.    Cedar Crest Farms even donated a silver western show saddle to the auction!

Quantity was down but quality was  high in every division.     ...and fun was still in abundance!
