Equine Affaire MA

Our 12th year at Equine Affaire in W. Springfield, MA was a HUGE success. And while we weren't completely optimistic about that considering Hurricane Sandy and the path of destruction that brought her so close, our worries were all for naught. Shelly accompanied Frank this year, as did daughter Christa and nephew Brandon. Our consistent sponsors, Jim and Judy Mackler, were absent this year for the very first time due to a health issue, but the NHC booth was manned and well cared for in spite of that setback! We were blessed to have Dr. Castle McLaughlin drive in from Boston, as well as Nokota owners Pearl and Karen Neve and Linda Barcomb from upstate New York, who all pitched in selflessly to do whatever needed doing to accommodate demos, take pictures, man the booth, etc.

Nokota® at March Pin Oak Charity Horse Show

Koda, a Nokota® horse shown by Jack Lieser, won 4th place at the 67th Year of the March Pin Oak Charity Horse Show held at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas.  This was the first year they had Working Equitation Classes.  The class has three phases: a Dressage test, Ease of Handling Through Obstacles and the Speed Phase.  Koda was awarded 4th overall!!  Koda and Jack both did a great job.  Jack's wife Sarah Lieser heard the spectators watching the show talk about Koda as they were wondering what breed he was.  Some of the guesses were Welsh Pony and Cob.  Sarah was happy and proud to educate them to his Nokota® breeding!  For more information about the March Pin Oak Charity Horse Show, please click on the link:  http://pinoak.org/
