The two-day inaugural event featured 68 classes, many sanctioned by the National Snaffle Bit Association, at scenic Fox Lea Farm. Sunday’s action got underway with Showmanship, Western Riding and more Western Pleasure, including the $5000 NSBA Maturity $10,000 Limited Horse Open Western Pleasure, followed by Equitation, Hunter Under Saddle and over fences classes.

Judges for the event, which drew a total of just over 250 entries, were John Boxell and Randy Wilson.
