EPPHA BANQUET!

This past weekend the EPPHA banquet was held at the Rivercrest Country Club in Oaks, PA. and it was a fabulous event!  The facility was decked out with the table centerpieces being  "topiaries" made from horse show ribbons. The dinner was buffet style with caesar salad, roasted red potatos, green beans, chicken parmesan, salmon, and beef. They also had a yummy dessert table with bite sized cakes, eclairs, and cream puffs.
There was a basket auction with lots of goodies. Our crew found themselves quite lucky: Linda won a wine and cheese basket (how perfect!); Traci Fisher won a stunning sterling silver horse show pendant; Keilly Kirkpatrick went home with a basket of assorted brushes, grooming supplies, and goodies for her ponies; and Emily DiMaggio won a beautiful wooden grooming box with assorted grooming supplies inside.
The awards for Foxtale Farm riders were as follows:

MacKenzie Boyer and Coldshot: 3rd in Pre-Children's Horses 15-17
Hannah Fisher and Eccho: 4th in Pre-Children's Horses 14 & Under
Maren Nordhoy and Wishful Thinking: Reserve Champion in Pre-Children's Horses 15-17
Alexandra DiMaggio and Farnley Designer: Reserve Champion in Green Pony Hunter
Emily DiMaggio and Cailliou: 3rd in Children's Small/Medium Ponies
Julianna Empie and Silver Buttons: Reserve Champion in Pre-Children's Small/Medium Ponies
Keilly Kirkpatrick and Caribbean Cruise: Champion in Pre-Children's Small/Medium Ponies
Jessica Patterson and Tristan's Shania: 6th in Pre-Children's Large Ponies

The champion and reserve riders went home with some gorgeous prizes. Keilly won a lovely wooden saddle rack/tack trunk combo and Alex DiMaggio won a wooden bridle rack. I believe Maren received an embroidered vest?

It was quite a fun evening!
