All of us here at Mark Harrell Horse Shows would like to ask all of our ‘friends’ to keep a long-time exhibitor’s family in their thoughts. Matt Bozoian is the son of Tracy and brother to Casey. Matt was just finishing his first year at Mizzou and unfortunately passed away yesterday. His visitation is Thursday and the Funeral is Friday at the Ortmann Stipanovich funeral home in Creve Coeur, MO.  The family asks that that instead of flowers, donations are made in Matt’s name to the Ronald McDonald House. If you would like to send a sympathy card to the family it an be sent to 12609 Town and Country Estates Ln, St.Louis, MO 63141

Count McChick - The Outstanding Gelding

It is with great sadness that we report that 'Mickey' to his friends, has been put down.  He was 31 years old & even earned points at an AQHA show at the age of 27.  He was owned & shown by exhibitors from east to west & earned multiple superiors, several AQHA championships, countless ROMs & was in the year-end & world show placings more times than can be counted.  He earned more than 50 halter points (long before performance halter) and 1520 AQHA performance points. He taught numerous novice exhibitors how to ‘let him do his job’ and was still swapping leads in the pasture last year. He had the first stall in the barn & was the watch-dog for all coming & going.  He was buried at the farm & he joins so many others in the skies above. He loved Krispy Kreme donuts & here is hoping he gets to eat all he wants.

Amateur & Youth Exhibitors included: Vernon Habighorst (Mr Blue Ribbon himself), Rita Ann Dewitt, Kent Ray Allen, Scott Creed, Carolyn Schmohe, Katrina Vander Beizen, Nichole Creed, All THREE Roper Girls – Samantha, Ali & Indy, Rebecca Mathis, Susanne Robinson, Jeff Habighorst, Rhonda Mason, Luewin Hunt, Jodi Lee Dowdy & David Pardue (His last owner as well.)
