SPONSORS NEEDED

The Iowa Paint Horse Club is once again preparing for the Memorial Day Classic, one of the largest shows for our club. Last year we had some classes sponsored by businesses and individuals. That was such a big hit and appreciated by the exhibitors, and we’ve decided to do it again this year.

If you would be interested in donating $25 or $50, IPHC will use that for either a monetary prize or use the money to purchase a prize for a class on the Monday portion of the show. All these prizes will be lucky draw and the placings in the class will not have any bearing on the winner of the prize. Click here to view sponsorship letter/form.
 

The Patricia Harrison Memorial Walk Trot class will be held in place of the 19 & Over Walk Trot class on Saturday, May 29th. The requirements of the class are the same (open to exhibitors 19 years of age and over). A trophy will be awarded to the first place exhibitor under each of the four judges that day. In addition, some very generous friends of Pat’s are donating added money to this class! IPHC is hoping for a very large class to honor Pat.
