Exciting news for the National PHA Medal Finals. The PHA is pleased to announce that this year’s finals class will be held at Monmouth at the Team horse show at Centenary University on August 18th as the final class of the equitation day. Running at 3’3” and 3’6” in the newly reconstructed outdoor ring on state of the art GGT footing, the class will be judged by Scott Fitton as one class at the two heights. Outstanding awards will be presented to the top 10 riders. The PHA is excited to be working with show owners Michael Dowling and Tucker Ericson and look forward to a memorable experience.
New this year – the PHA will be making a donation in the winning rider’s name to Ron and Danny’s Rescue. As the PHA is a benevolent organization of volunteer horsemen helping horsemen we are thrilled to support Ron and Danny in their efforts. Each time a rider participates in a PHA medal class throughout the year a portion of their entry will be going to support Ron and Danny’s Rescue.
Prize list will be available the end of May. Show schedule can be found here. |
