Around the Regions (con’t)

Northwest Region - BY CHRIS NEHER

the Northwest region of the IDhsNa is small in number
of members, but continues to be a large presence in our
region. for over 10 years the region has had a presence
at what has become the premier horse trial in the western u.s.,
the event at rebecca farm. the NW region has over the years
staffed a society booth, and sponsored awards for high placing
horses of verifiable ID blood.

the 2016 event at rebecca farm was held July 21-24 in Kalispell,
montana. as in past years, the Northwest region of the IDhsNa
sponsored cash prizes for the top finishers in two levels of compe-
tition, novice and training levels, and intermediate level and above.
