BEHIND THE
SCENCES AT THE 2008 NATIONAL SHOW
by Martha M. Day, Ed.D., Director of Designated Qualified
Persons
There is
a great deal of work that goes in to putting on a
successful National Show. The 2008 National was the best
show that NWHA has had to date. The Designated Qualified
Persons are indeed some of the hardest working individuals
at every NWHA show. They are the persons that ensure that
NWHA's shows are clean and sound and that every exhibitor
enters the show ring on a level playing field.
DQP
Ramona Rawson traveled from Texas with her daughter
Heather who volunteered her time to scribe for the entire
show. The Rawson family ranch was largely underwater due
to recent hurricane activity and it took enormous effort
and personal sacrifice for the Rawsons to make the journey
to Tennessee. DQP Steve Bill traveled from New York to
work at his fourth National show and DQP Marsha Hills
traveled from Minnesota. Each one of these dedicated
individuals took vacation time from their jobs to inspect
horses for NWHA. Their professionalism and skill is
unparalleled in the gaited horse show industry. Please
take the time to thank our DQPs for the wonderful job they
do for us. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!
