Powell Performance Horses

What a cold and rainy weekend we had last weekend at the Yankee Union show in Cobleskill! We can officially say they cursed the fairgrounds when they put it on Sunshine Dr! Even with the cold wind, rain, and unable to feel our fingers and toes, our crew did well! Many top placings and brought home many grands & reserves! We unfortunately didn’t take many photos as we kept our hands in our pockets most of the time! Another show down, now looking into worlds in exactly 1 week! ALL PHOTOS WITH PROOF ARE IN PROCESS OF PURCHASE!!

Sunburns but with smiles! Took some horses to school at the skyline show today, and many blues and kinks worked out! Fun day with some old and new faces! Now to find the aloe Vera and get ready for yankee union paint show on Friday!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all those barn moms! We want to send out a special Happy Mother’s Day to our favorite Barn mom, Paula Kishbaugh Powell ! She always has been a helping hand, a friendly face, and the best cheerleader. I am so lucky to call her my mother but also share her with my barn family. Never change Momma P, we love you so much!

Everyone is sure loving these warm temps and sunshine!!

Also we need to make a point to take more photos of everyone!! Proud of all the team, and look forward to the rest of the season!

OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION 2017 APHA/PtHA Bay Roan Tobiano Gelding - OBVIOUSLY ONLY BY APPT Trainer horse that hasn’t been pushed and is ready for a full time show career! First time ridden at a show and maybe the 4th ever horse show for him was last years Eastern National Championships, where he walked away with 1st in the open 3yo geldings & 4th in the 3yo HUS!
