3 Region 12 Championship Arabian Horse Show Perry, Georgia May 2-7, 2016 Dear Exhibitors, On behalf of the Region 12 Show Commission, I would like to welcome you to the 39th Annual Region 12 Championship Show and the beautiful Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. After the 2015 show, as in past years, the committee came together to brainstorm on ways to make this year s show great. Below are some of the things you can look forward to at the 2016 show and we hope you think it is even better than the last! The Region 12 Show Commission made the decision to add a second Dressage ring on Wednesday, run two triangles for SHIH classes and have two judges for the SHUS and HOF classes. The Region 12 Spotlight Program will have a projected payout of over $181,000. This is the largest payout so far in the program. They are excited to announce they have $114,000 available for halter and $67,000 for performance!! 12 Straight Egyptian and Heritage Egyptian Halter classes were added to the schedule on Wednesday afternoon. Region 12 will once again hold an Exhibitors' Party Thursday night in conjunction with Spotlight Futurity Auction where we will have Live Music and Dancing! Second Annual Chili Cookoff Friday afternoon & Military Appreciation on Friday Night. Kentucky Derby Party on Saturday afternoon in the Patron s Lounge sponsored Linda and Vince Musso. Sylvia Zerbini s Arabian Horse Grande Liberte Performance to open Saturday night session sponsored by Allison Mehta & friends. Being a part of the 2016 Region 12 Championship Show Commission has once again been a wonderful experience for me. The Show Commission is made up of some extremely knowledgeable volunteers who come together with a vast array of horse show experience and work very hard to make Region 12 such a wonderful show! In closing, we would all like to thank our exhibitors for coming to Georgia and hope you have an enjoyable show experience.
