My previous post was in regards to voting on a poll to put a sound horse HIO on the map. Here are the results for the poll, and honestly, I see this as good news.
SHOW - 33%
NWHA - 28%
KWHA - 22% (WELL KNOWN for their sore horse shows - see my KWHA Incidents catagory for more info)
FOSH - 13%
HPC - 2%
Western International - 1%
It's too bad that we can't know how many people actually voted, but that's okay. Only a 5% difference between SHOW and NWHA. That's really amazing! I think it's an extremely strong message that a sound HIO is strong in the ranks. It could have been NWHA, FOSH or the HPC, and I would have been happy. Let's hope people take the results of this poll seriously and get the message that is beyond the idea that SHOW "won."
