REGION 6
By: Kim Hillyer
Hello Region 6 members. I hope everyone is having a safe and fun summer with their horses and WE. There are still plenty of USAWE sanctioned shows still on the schedule for this year yet to take place, and lots of schooling shows and clinics around the region.
The big event, the Eastern Zone Championships, is shaping up and lots of people are looking forward to attending. I hope all those that qualified come, and those that need scores to qualify, get out there and earn those scores. We’d love to see you in Tennessee!
Here are some things to look forward to at the Eastern Zone Championships:
