Region Two Day Two

NEW! What is an AQHA membership?

REGION TWO EXPERIENCE

DAY ONE, SEPTEMBER 25, 2008

With more than 1,200 pre-entered, the 2008 Region Two Experience was off to a great start on Thursday, September 25. The number pre-entered for this show is right at the number of total entries for last year's Region Two. The morning began with ranch sorting and roping in the Coliseum Arena and working cow horse moved in that afternoon. Outside in the Bray Arena, AQHA Professional Horseman and Team Wrangler Member Charlie Cole gave thorough clinics in trail and western riding.
