A sunny, but cool, beautiful spring weekend welcomed the hunter/jumper show season in Germantown, Tennessee, with the West Tennessee Hunter/Jumper Association (WTHJA) Spring Time in Dixie on April 7-10, 2016. Show manager Barney Mallace bragged on the “greatly improved footing” at the show. “WTHJA spent many thousands of dollars on the footing improvements, with more to come,” he said. “WTHJA did the footing work, installing crushed limestone and sane, in all the hunter rings, hunter schooling areas, and the main arena. Jimmy Chancellor did the work on the main arena schooling area, where French drains were installed.”
The weekend featured a fun exhibitors’ party with food sponsored by Memphis Mojo Café.
