Drinks, Photo Booth, Awards and Dancing!! A fun raffle for a beautiful Silver Show Headstall raised funds for GVHS Youth programs.
Congratulations to all Awards Winners! All 2019 Awards can be viewed on the GVHS website and on the GVHS Facebook page.
Sunday morning started early with two different rooms buzzing.
Wayne Hipsley led an educational session for "Judges only" presenting some great video-based content about the Gypsy Vanner Horse.
In the other Room, the GVHS Annual General Meeting was held with several Board of Directors members present to listen to the Membership.
The GVHS

The weekend was completed at Olympus Sport Horses, where the learning from the classroom educational seminar continued with applied, hands-on training with live horses.
Thank you Heather Caudill and all of her helpers (both human and equine!) for making this a spectacular end to our weekend.
Everyone headed home with more friends, memories, awards, goals, and an appreciation for the GVHS, and the Gypsy Vanner Horse!
