Smedley Scholarship Fund open horse show to be held May 6

The Smedley Scholarship Trust Fund committee announced that the annual open horse show will be held May 6 at the newly rebuilt Washington County Fairgrounds Horse Arena beginning at 11 am.         
The show features a variety of classes for adults and youth, including halter, showmanship, equitation, walk-trot, trail, country pleasure, western pleasure, as well as reining and freestyle reining.   There are three added money classes.
This year, there will also be three schooling classes: showmanship, horsemanship, and trail. Schooling classes are not judged but offer competitors the opportunity to practice the event in the show pen prior to exhibiting to the judge. Showmanship schooling will begin at 9 a.m., prior to the show.
Food will be available.
The 32nd annual show is the only fundraiser for the scholarship fund, which benefits Washington County college students who are pursuing a career in equine related studies. This includes veterinary studies, equine business, horse training, horse shoeing, etc.  
A Smedley scholarship is renewable for the entire time the student is enrolled in equine studies. Many Washington County youth have benefited from the program.
The fund also provides grants to younger horsemen who are attending horse clinics or horsemanship camps.

Typically, the show lasts from 11-4 and attracts horsemen from all over southern Indiana and northern Kentucky.
