Arabian Hunter Pleasure AAOTR Championship

This trophy is donated in memory of Carolyn Day, a loyal supporter of the GGAHA show as well as many other local and regional horse shows. Carolyn, an avid horse enthusiast was a happy smiling face and was a genuine honest, friendly and humorous human being. Her success as a business woman (she owned and operated Sonoma Saddle Shop) was only surpassed by her love and enthusiasm for life, which she lived to the fullest and encouraged others to do also. 

She was a bright ray of sunshine at our show and her presence will forever be missed. However tragic her demise, remember her in living memories of smiles and laughter.
