This is about the welfare of your amazing horse,
but more importantly the character we at TPH
represent.
REMEMBER: There are always more judges present
in the warm up area than in the show arena!
TPH believes and lives by: ‘Success is a journey,
NOT a destination.’
Tt’s not all about winning blue ribbons, but the
rewarding experience you create with your horse,
family, & friends.
Riding with our Brand is a privilege and we
expect you to represent us with individual style
that is not only respected by all, but also
complemented well into the future. We can be
that ‘BARN’!
