EC Photo of the Day: Here’s To Making Memories

Photo credit: Jeff Kirkbride Photography
This year’s Pinto World Show was a last-minute decision for Alyssa Duff, but one she’s incredibly grateful she made.
“My horse is on a lease this season while I finish my bachelor’s degree, so I wasn’t planning to show much this year. I just couldn’t let the season pass without stepping into the show pen at least once,” she explains. She had the opportunity to show Early Shine, aka “Earl,” in Amateur Jr Walk Trot Western Pleasure, and she didn’t hesitate.
“Competing at my very first Pinto World Show in Western Pleasure was an experience I’ll never forget,” says Alyssa. “I’m thankful for everyone who helped make this opportunity possible, and I’m so proud of my horse and everything we accomplished together. Here’s to making memories, chasing goals, and proving that even when life gets busy, it’s worth making time for what you love.”
Thank you to Alyssa for sharing this special memory with our readers! If you have a great photo of the day, please email it to: Delores.Kuhlwein@EquineChronicle.com.
