Harvest Moon Carriage Classic 2010

Due to circumstances beyond our control, there will not be a Harvest Moon Carriage Classic ADS Pleasure Driving Show in 2010. Our 2009 new location in Mason City proved to be well received, but will not work out for 2010. We greatly appreciate all the support we have received throughout these past 11 years.

Harvest Moon Carriage Classic 2009

Our new location for the Harvest Moon Carriage Classic 2009 proved to be a delight. The secure fencing around the two arenas provided a safe area for our new Junior Drivers division! And they all looked sharp ! All the turnouts attracted ooohs and aaahs from the spectators who had gathered for the first ADS carriage show in Mason City, Iowa. Our judges were Anne Councill and Anne Leck, and Deborah Bevan was our Technical Delegate. We thank them for sharing their expertise!

We again thank all the competitors and their grooms, friends, family members who joined us this year. It's always nice to see all the familiar faces and horses, as well as the many newcomers! The show committee did a fantastic job, with many new challenges that needed to be handled. Our faithful sponsors and show supporters outdid themselves, offering help in many different ways. The volunteers were superb and really jumped on board to do whatever was needed. The new organizers, Paul Degen and Sally Overturf, had everything under control as the event continued to be a huge success !

We sincerely thank all those involved for enabling us to have this eleventh year of our Harvest Moon Carriage Classic!

Here are the results of our show:

Harvest Moon Carriage Classic 2008

We have completed another successful ADS recognized carriage show, thanks to all the competitors, sponsors, committee members, officials and Living History Farms, ! Our Judges for this, our Tenth Show, were Anne Councill and Susan Koso; our Technical Delegate was Ed Young. We have enjoyed watching our show grow from the 13 competitors we had our first year in 1999, to the 47 we had this year. Some competitors have been at all of our shows, others have joined us along our journey through the years, and we have welcomed many new competitors recently. All have contributed a great deal to the quality of our show. Our show committee is grateful for the opportunity to continue our show for the past ten years. Below is a link for the Results of our show.
