Weekly Update from ShowAssist | First Memory of Horses
We want to reminisce with you on the time you discovered your love of horses.
Was it a pony ride at the fair, yelling "horses!" when you saw a pasture full while driving with your parents – we may still do that – or week-long summer riding camp?
Share your first memory of horses for a change to be featured on our social media.

We are all in this together and have a responsibility to do our part in helping make horse showing a safe and enjoyable experience. Please exercise caution, take precautionary measures, keep others accountable and use good judgement at all times during interactions while at competitions.
ShowAssist strongly encourages all participants to follow the safety protocols set forth by the horse shows and our governing bodies. It is important for us to take all necessary steps to keep ourselves and our entire equestrian community safe and supported.
US Equestrian has developed its COVID-19 Toolkit to assist show organizers as well as competitors and participants in managing risks associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic. For Equestrian Canada shows, please refer to their COVID-19 Resources.
Have a horse show tip to help others during COVID? Let us know and we can share to help the equestrian community stay safe while competing!
WE ARE PEOPLE-CENTERED. SHOW-DRIVEN.
