The GHRA annual meeting was held in Phoenix, AZ in early February at the Cambria Hotel. The weather and accommodations were beautiful! The layout of the rooms was lovely and were laid out to maximize the gorgeous views! The rooms also provided a great place to get some work done in between meetings, with the assistance of NEIGH.All checked in and look what awesome items were included in the meeting bag! I love the mug, stickers, and ornament.The meeting and banquet room is set up and we are ready to go!There were several interesting presentations held during the meeting. In addition to USDF, Purina and the Western Dressage Association of America were also represented. USDF was well represented with lots of information available on our current programs and awards to share with the GHRA annual meeting attendees. I brought along many examples of USDF awards to share with the attendees.The GHRA provided amazing crystal trophies, custom made from Ireland, this year. They were so colorful and stunning!Mike Gish of Gilbert, AZ, pictured with Linda Elliot, won the drawing for the USDF bag with goodies. And that’s a wrap!
Thank you GHRA for inviting USDF and myself to take part in the GHRA Annual Meeting. It was a wonderful experience!
