Congrats to Kurt on earning the 2009 IALHA Amateur Horseman of the Year award!

Adelina showed to TWO 75% scores and won the Andalusian mares class, then received the Reserve Champion award in the Open Mares Sport Horse in Hand class, as well as with Kurt in the Amateur to handle Sport Horse in Hand class -- with a whopping 89%. We're so proud!
