Hungry Horse Ranch hosts wildcard dressage show

 A wildcard dressage show was put on by the Prairie Arabian Working Western and Sport Horse Association (PAWWSHA) on Sept. 24 at the Hungry Horse Ranch, which is located west of Wawota and owned by Ken and Roxanne Appell.

Roxanne Appell, who is an avid horsewoman, said the PAWWSHA was founded in 2017 by a handful of horse enthusiasts to increase the sport of riding in several disciplines, with the focus being dressage.

Two shows were planned for this year in Melville and Brandon, but due to low entries they had to be cancelled, so the wildcard shows came into place.

Dressage has 11 levels, beginning at the entry level and ending with the grand prix special.

Scoring is done out of 110. Each horse and rider will be judged on ease of handling, the horse and rider’s movement and their ease of transition from one gait to the other.

In Queen Anne in Queen Anne’s county, Farmer David Denny works hard to raise hundreds of chickens so that they may reach regular growth milestones on schedule. This is important because poultry integrators like Purdue require the chickens to be a certain size and weight in a set number of weeks. How can such a feit be accomplished so consistently in such a short period of time? It’s all due to the birds' carefully planned diet, which is tailor-made to meet their nutritional needs. The process begins long before any chickens even arrive on the farm all thanks to Farmer David and the grains he grows throughout the year. These grains are in turn used to create the exact feed which provides the necessary nutrients to the David Denny Farm’s poultry.
