Several Saddlebred Summit Forum Agendas Announced
Monday, February 13, 2006


 

Lexington, Kentucky ­– The 2006 ASHA Annual Meeting is set to begin Thursday, February 16, and several detailed forum agendas have been announced.

 

ASHA Executive Secretary Alan F. Balch noted the forum titled “American Saddlebreds in Competition” on Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. is where the discussions will take place regarding the recommendations ASHA leadership made following their October meetings in 2005.

 

“The discussion of the proposal for a split class at the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show for Two-Year-Old Three-Gaited Unset Tail will take place at the ‘American Saddlebreds in Competition’ Forum with a number of other critical topics,” Balch said.  “We originally scheduled two forums for this same time, but have now combined and extended them so that all registered convention attendees can participate in the discussion.”
