National Horseman Arabian would like to help honor our middle, high school and college graduates that are missing their last few weeks of school and likely even their graduation ceremonies this year. After months - years, really - of hard work and unforgettable memories, having the final farewells cut short is a tough reality to face. Missing this rite of passage is disappointing and hard. # NHArabian  wants to honor the class of 2020 and lift their spirits by creating a digital memory book and hosting a virtual graduation ceremony. Participation is FREE! Details below - email julian@nationalhorseman.com
