UPHA Pink Ribbon, Horses And Hope Bring Mobile Mammography To Kentucky State Fair A combined effort between two equine-based organizations that raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer has resulted in mobile mammography being on site at the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show. The UPHA Pink Ribbon ProgramSM, a program of the United Professional Horsemen’s Association, and Horses And HopeSM, a program of the Kentucky Cancer Program led by Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear, will be trolling the barns and stalls to inform women about the risks of breast cancer and the importance of mammography. “Those who wish to have mammography screening while at the World’s Championship Horse Show may do so, thanks to a generous gift from UPHA,” said Jane Beshear. “Working together, we hope to reach women in the equine industry who may not have access to this potentially life-saving service.” “We are honored to work with the First Lady’s Horses And Hope program at a horse show where we can reach so many horsewomen,” Nichols said. The alliance came about with the UPHA Pink Ribbon Program’s recent donation of $10,000 to Horses And Hope, which enabled the mobile mammography unit to be present on Thursday, August 26, during the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show. Horses And Hope will also share information from a booth located in the North Wing Exhibit Hall and be present in Freedom Hall’s center ring with the winner of the Ladies Roadster To Bike class on Thursday evening. UPHA Pink Ribbon ProgramSM is service mark of United Professional Horsemen’s Association; registration pending. Horses And HopeSM is a service mark of Kentucky Cancer Program.Founder of Alabama Charity Passes Away 2010 Saddle Seat World Cup Fundraiser Nick Maupin (Sussex, WI) ST.

St. Louis National Pole Bending Clinic with Carol Jones EVENT:POLE BENDING CLINIC ST. LOUIS, September 24, 2010-- Please join the Charter Clubs of the ASHA, Suzanne Bradshaw, the ASHA Ambassador for the Western Division and the St. Louis National Horse Show for a new way to promote the American Saddlebred horse in an exciting and inspiring clinic. DESCRIPTION: This Pole Bending Clinic is the first of its kind to promote new ways of showing the American Saddlebred to the public in a timed, gaming event. One of the most exciting moments in sports for any spectator to watch is when a horse goes into action in a speed event at any horse show. To experience a great horse and rider combination competing over a demanding course is thrilling and impressive. In order to derive the full measure of enjoyment from these events, the spectator needs to understand the basics of keeping score. Pole Bending provides this for the first time in American Saddlebred competition. There is nothing easier to understand than a timed event. The horse that does the course the fastest wins! Pole Bending is also a great way to make the American Saddlebred more accessible to the backyard owner. Carol Jones is a professional trainer of both American Saddlebred and Appaloosa horses. Carol’s Saddlebreds have won four of the Working Western Finals in St. Louis since 2002. Carol’s Appaloosas have been the number four and number five Ribbon Winners in Pole Bending out of fifty competing at the Appaloosa World Show. 2010 IFSHA World and Grand National Championship Horseshow October 13th – 17th, 2010 Please join IFSHA , USEF, USDF, ADS and all our Registries in celebrating The War Horse of Old that is the Friesian, as we honor the Soldiers of Today!
