Celebrating Mom During SLOCQHA Mother’s Day Circuit
One part of the show that’s unique compared to other shows is that the mothers, who we all know work tirelessly day in and day out, whether they are at a show or not, get to be honored and gifted with a bottle of wine! However, there is a catch to getting the bottle of wine. In order to receive the gift, the mom’s (and possibly even a few dad’s) must enter the free “Mother’s Day All Breed Pleasure Class” in memory of the late Kathy Hunt. This is a walk/jog pleasure class, which doesn’t take much convincing to enter once they find out every rider gets a bottle of wine from one of the local award-winning wineries in Paso Robles.
