We are delighted to feature the work of Idaho-born and nationally acclaimed Western Artist, Dyrk Godby as the highlight item of our live auction on Saturday, July 25th at the show.

A heartfelt thank you to Bonnie and Jesse Gonzales of Chahalis Washington, for their very generous donation of this exceptional piece. The artwork will be on display in the arena, and we invite everyone to stop by and take a look for yourselves, it needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate the beauty and detail that makes Dyrk Godby's work so special.

This year, we are pleased to introduce a Showmanship in Hand class within the Novice Division. As a fundamental part of horse showing, showmanship is about grooming, turnout, conditioning, and overall presentation, which will be evaluated by our judges. They will assess proper handling, leading, and presentation techniques, in addition to the exhibitor's preparedness and posture.

Please be advised this class is done at a walk only, exhibitors will NOT be required to run their horses at halter.

To ensure our novices understand the class's expectations and key points, please watch the video featuring Sarah Boismier.

Please help us welcome Vanita Mann to our show. Vanita has agreed to be our show announcer and we are very excited to have her.

It all began with a simple love for the Peruvian horse—one that grew into years of memories with my daughters by my side. From their first moments in the arena to the journey we’ve shared together, these horses have been woven into some of the most meaningful chapters of our lives. And today, that love still lives on through them.

Now, I find myself in a different place in the arena—behind the microphone. Announcing shows has become a passion of its own, allowing me to share the beauty, tradition, and heart of the Peruvian horse with others. What once was a dream to attend shows like the Norte y Sur Championship and the Canadian National has now come full circle—being there, not just as a spectator or exhibitor, but as the voice behind the show. A journey that started with us… and continues in a whole new way.

Please say hello to Pete Arnold, our gate steward for this year's show. You will also be seeing plenty of his lovely wife Michelle who will be helping out with ribbons in the arena.

Hi .... I'm Pete Arnold, from the piney woods of east Texas. My wife Michelle and I live on the shores of Lake o' the Pines - we call ourselves Lake Bums!

I got involved with the Peruvian horses a number of years ago, when Naomi Scull handed me a clipboard and said I was the gate steward! What a learning curve that was!

Michelle and I have a small business, Lake Bum Craft Co. and we sell horse show awards, t-shirts, tumblers and more. I own one retired Peruvian Horse, Lou (Lloron).

I'm looking forward to spending time with the Peruvian Horse family from the NW and Canada!
