On behalf of the Middle Tennessee Arabian Association, we would like to invite everyone to a great show being held in a wonderful location at The Tennessee Miller Coliseum in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This state-of-the-art air conditioned facility will make your horse show experience very enjoyable.

We have some fun activities planned for this year?s show. ?On Thursday while you are picking up your registration packets, I would like to personally welcome everyone to the show with cake and ice cream. In honor of my twin?s first birthday (September 18th), please come by the office for a much needed sugar rush and enjoy the air-conditioned lounge. On Friday evening, there is a special Exhibitor?s Party planned, more details will be revealed at the show.

Also, please plan on attending the Progressive Barn Party on Saturday evening. This?is a wonderful time to catch up with old friends and make new ones in the Arabian and

dressage community. The winner of the best food or drink item will be awarded the?Golden Spatula Award and an autographed bottle of wine signed by country music

superstar Kix Brooks (Brooks and Dunn) from his new Arrington Vineyards.

We would like to thank all of our Sponsors, Volunteers, and the Middle Tennessee?State University Equestrian Team for all their hard work. This show would not be

possible without everyone?s generosity, time and efforts.

Best regards,

Jennifer Schanhals

Show Manager

Oh cool, I think I will be going.. Hopefully... lol. I'll drag my fiancée along too and show him how cool dressage is lol.

This is a great show with wonderful facilities and show management. It is defintely worth adding to your list of 2008 shows. Brookhill will be there!

Jeanne @ Brookhill

Hey Jeanne which horses will you be bringing? I just checked out your site and love both of your stallions, and their breeding. You have some very nice horses and a great facility.

We'll be coming up from GA!! This is the first time that I've shown at this show since it moved from Shelbyville (yeah, I showed there like 10 yrs ago...wow, I'm old LOL) I can't wait!!!

Libby

Hey there! I just saw your reply. Thanks for the kind words! Sorry this is late, but we took 6 horses for halter on Friday. We work with a lot of new breeders, so not so many under saddle horses right now, but I can't wait for next year when we'll have more!

Anyway, this was a great show. We had four straight Egyptians who cleaned up the halter ribbons:
-BH American Girl, Senior Champion Mare (& 1st 3 year old mares, 1st mares ATH) (owned by Brookhill)
-Zahbaad Zahir, Reserve Junior Champion Colt (& 2nd 2-year old colts) (owned by Zahir Arabians)
-Zaleeh Zahir, 1st place, 2 year old fillies (owned by Zahir Arabians)
-Amir Asil, Reserve 2 year old geldings and Reserve AOTH geldings (owned by SEA Horse Farm)

Two great non-straights did well for trainer Jill Girardi Thomas as well:
-RTA The Phoenix (2nd 3&over geldings)
-Tango Bey (3rd sport horse stallions)

It was the first show for four of these horses and Jill had them confident and ready to do their job. Again, the management did a great job with the show. 2008 is the third year in a row Jill and one of our horses has one a halter championship there, so we really look forward to 2009!
