July 6, 2016 I cannot believe that the year is already half over and that summer is upon us. I have been extremely fortunate to be able to travel to the Ohio Equine Affaire and SOQHA’s Madness. Both of which were wonderful events where I made lifelong memories. The Equine Affaire is something that I have attended numerous times growing up…this year I got to see the event in a whole different light. When I first arrived and was walking around, I somewhat forgot that I may have stood out in my sparkling sash and crown. Spectators all around gazed and smiled and I soon realized that I was in for a treat. To me, I am just your average girl who loves horses and has been very blessed. To others around me, I was the “Belle of the ball.”
