On August 9th the OHHA sponsored an ADT at the Payne County Expo Center. Drivers, ponies and horses showed up from Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and even a few from Oklahoma! It was really hot -- but a fun day. Andy Kincaid and Diana Best did a great job running the event. Hanna Benjamin and her pony did a great job running all the scores to the office. Everybody had a great time and even had a chance to preview the new Cowboy Country CDE course. Click here to see the ADT score sheet
