  1. John Lyons, Stacy Westfall, Mustang Makeover…… Agghhhhh, I really want go!! D:
    It sounds really awesome. I hope whoever does get to go has a great time and learns a lot 😀

  2. I just went today and yesterday it is soooo fun! The mustang make-over was AMAZING!!! I met Stacey Westfall and got her autograph 🙂

  3. I went on Friday, and had a blast! I spend more than i should have, but it was all worth it! This was my first time going, but i am definatly going next year. We saw some of the demenstrations, including the mounted shooting(which was cool). I was bummed because we missed Stephan Bradley, who i REALLY wanted to see. Oh well. Great fun though. And AMAZING deals!

  4. Expo was so much fun this year! Did anyone see the Driving Darby? I think it is the best kept secret at expo. It consists of horses and ponies (and minis!)doing obstacle courses at speed. most are driven singly but there are often pairs or tandems. It is to much fun.
