The weather has been beautiful in Rapid City - perfect for trail classes outside all day long and into the evening. The western riders started in the Coliseum Arena with more than 100 reiners to follow. Several exhibitors have taken advantage of seeing the local sights, including Mount Rushmore and the town of Deadwood up in the Black Hills. Comments on the show coverage? E-mail chamilton@aqha.org.
