The Pacific Coast Horse Shows Association held its 2019 Year-End Awards Banquet January 3-5 at San Diego at Mission Bay Resort & Spa in California.
With 250 guests attending, it was a great success. The PCHA gave out more than 300 awards between the English and Western divisions and regional and national awards.
This was the 29th consecutive year that EMO was a major sponsor. “I started it in 1991 with the Grand Prix Horse and Rider Awards,” said EMO’s Mike Moran. “We also sponsor awards for six other divisions in the program.”
This year debuted a new trophy for the West Coast PCHA Derby Horse of the Year, a custom bronze titled "Regal.” PCHA Board Member Holly Scapa and PCHA President Archie Cox presented the trophy to Center Court, owned by Hiller Farms/Kristen Hiller and ridden by John French.
Archie Cox and Mike Moran presented the EMO/PCHA Grand Prix Horse of the Year Award and red roses to Carol Wright for her horse Conejito’s efforts.
EMO also congratulated Conejito, owned and ridden by Carol Wright, for earning the EMO/ Pacific Coast Horse Shows Association - PCHA 2019 Grand Prix Horse of the Year Award! Special thanks to Archie Cox and EMO's Mike Moran for presenting the award.
