The Greener than Grass Class is not new to the NSHA but sheer numbers of people who want to ride and support one another is amazing. Mark VanBlankenstein is one of the few charter members from last season. He feels “it was a big success. From the trainers, to the non-pros to the good turn out from the local community, everyone seemed to be relaxed and having fun! I am proud to be a part of the NSHA!!   It was great to see the turn out in the Green as Grass class! In just a year since the introduction of the entry level class, the participation has gone from just a couple entries to 30+ and the enthusiasm is very exciting. Having shown in the same class last year, I can relate to the excitement and the fears the newcomers are now experiencing for the first time. I am very excited about what the future will bring to the sport and industry, with more people getting involved first hand, not just watching but actually participating, it is sure to grow the size, quality and fun of the shows in the years to come!    The Greener than Grass revolution started ‘Grass Roots’ style, but is growing exponentially and I am sure not only the NSHA will see the rewards of a fruitful harvest, but the industry will as well.”   For more information about FUTURE BEGINNERS BASICS CLINICS email National Stock Horse Association  at info@nationalstockhorse.com These clinics are designed for any rider interested in the NSHA and showing at the basic level. Participants should have a sound horse, western saddle and be ready to have a good time!
