American Saddlebreds at the 2007 USDF Convention
Once again, the American Saddlebred Horse Association kindly sponsored the American Saddlebred booth at the Trade Fair of the 2007 United States Dressage Federation Convention held at the Disney Resort Coronado Springs in Orlando, Florida, November 29- December 1, 2007. Volunteers Linda Cawthon and Lisa Pfettcher setup and ran the booth for 3 days. Convention attendees were able to see video's of American Saddlebreds in Dressage, pick up promotional materials and The American Saddlebred Magazine, and register for our free raffle of an Ariat Tote bag filled with grooming supplies. Lisa and Linda talked with hundreds of Convention goers about Saddlebreds and Dressage. Linda Cawthon says of her experience, " We received a very positive response from people at the Convention. This is the fourth year the ASHA has sponsored the American Saddlebred booth at the USDF Convention and I think our presence here has really changed peoples minds about ASB's in non-traditional disciplines like Dressage".
