Very excited to hear the news today that the YHS will be hosted by El Sueno (also the location of the Benchmark Program) in Moorpark, Ca. This is very exciting news for breeders on the west coast! I hope all SoCal breeders and young horse owners will come and show their support.

Gayle, I didn't know either. Just found this description on El Sueno's FB page. Great idea, I might have to attend!

Welcome to California! It will be so nice to put faces to names (or alters). You want to be close to old town Camarillo. I would try the Residence Inn (Marriott). You can take back roads and be their in under 15.

No alters here- although it can be confusing. Michele the mother is Sakura Hill Farm, Monica the daughter is MCarverS!

it is the daughter, MCarverS who is the photographer and CEO of The Equine Media Project and it is she that will be in CA, lucky girl!

Yay! I hope this catches on! I'm breeding for the first time this spring and I have been out of the "show" loop for so long! I hope this will become a soft place for me to jump back in soon! Now, with the new sport horse auction in Vacaville, I have TWO things really close by to look forward to!
