BREAKING NEWS

Pin Oak is proud to announce our Andalusian / Lusitano breed has won the USEF FAVORITE BREED COMPETITION for the 2011 show year! 

Dear Competition Officials,

In 2011 the United States Equestrian Federation held the “My USEF Favorite Breed Competition” contest.  We would like to congratulate the Pin Oak Horse Show I on being included in the list of winners for the Andalusian/Lusitano division!  We don’t get a lot of evaluations (good or bad) in a year’s time and the fact that your exhibitors took the time to tell us about their positive experience at your show means a lot!  We’d like to share some of those comments with you below:

“I enjoy showing in a multi-breed venue, it allows us to “show off” our breed to many other exhibitors and spectators”.

“This is a good venue and is close to my home”.

As a breed category winner, Pin Oak will be receiving a 2011 Favorite Breed Competition plaque from USEF sometime in January for this accomplishment. 

Once again, we would like to congratulate your competition on being one of the favorite USEF competitions among Andalusian/Lusitano exhibitors. We appreciate your efforts in making this USEF competition a special event for exhibitors each year and thank you for continuing to hold USEF licensed competitions in the future.

Please look for the voting to start up again in 2012!

Sincerely,
Lori Nelson
Assistant Executive Director, National Affiliates
