Archive for November 6th, 2009Women’s Horse Industry Conference a Rousing Success!November 5, 2009 – The first WHIA conference was a total success! Everyone had a great time and went back home with lots of new knowledge and many, many new friends. Everyone also went home with a sense of knowing that there are an incredible group of people working in the horse industry. People that care about making the industry better each and every day. Attendees came from all over the country including California, New York, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nevada, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Alabama, New Hampshire, Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Tennessee and even Canada and Australia!

The speakers were fabulous and gave out a lot of great information. The exhibitors had some super products and were busy at every break; I could not have asked for a better result than what we got,” states Catherine Masters, Executive Director.

The grand prize, a 1% interest in Sunrise Smarty, from West Point Thoroughbreds was won by Northwestern Mutual Agent, Lynn Reed (an avid horse person and equine specialist). She not only won the horse ownership, but she also won the hat from famed hat designer, Carol Bader from Del Mar hats.
