Did you know that if you stopped and looked at each item for sale at the All American Quarter Horse Congress for just one minute, it would take you 72 years to get through all the booths? No…wait…I think that’s the Smithsonian. We have no idea whether or not that’s true – but, we DO know there is some GREAT shopping at Congress! With so much to see and compare, we thought it might be good to enlist the help of someone on the cutting edge, a fresh new face in horse show fashion…
Enter Cydney Benes…
“Hey! My name is Cydney Benes. I am 13 years old and have been riding since I was 2 1/2 years old. I am in the eighth grade and go to Emerson Prep, which is an online school. I travel a lot with my mom, as she goes around the country to horse shows. I have two horses. One is my all around mare named Rockin Raisinette, aka Gretchen, and the other is my hunt seat horse Call Me Blazin Hot, aka Blaze. I’ve always loved being fashionable but when my mom, Tammy Schuster, started her business (All That Show Clothing) I became more and more fashion forward, both in and out of the show arena. When I’m not riding or in the show pen, I also love to dance and make scrapbooking cards, which are fun to make. I love being creative! I hope you enjoy this article, because I enjoyed writing it!”
