The Rare Breeds Show is now done and in the history books (at least ours). We had 38 Teke and Teke sporthorses compete, quite a few wonderful volunteers and lots and lots of congratulations from exhibitors, volunteers and spectators. We have a lot of ideas of how to make the next show (!!!!) even better. Here are some photos from the show, there will be plenty more coming.
