In October of 2002 and again in 2003 the Ranger Foundation hosted our Geriatric Jubilee horse show in an effort to showcase horses over 18 years old. We believe that no matter how old or infirm a horse may be, he or she can be bathed and groomed and dolled-up and pampered and paraded, thus our Grooming and Showmanship classes, one for young people and one for adults were our premiere classes.

The turnout was wonderful and the praise we received from riders who had long since turned their darling show horse out to pasture was heartening. Some great show horses and some just-old-pets competed in classes geared for their physical condition. Besides Grooming and Showmanship there were pleasure classes, trail class, jumping (less than 18 inches!) and a big favorite, costume class. We even had a stick horse class for the youngest riders.

Have a look at the photos to your right (click to enlarge) and you will see how much the show was enjoyed by all and how great the horses looked!
