Fred Johnson and JH IMA CRUSIN COWBOY

The following is a clip from KTHV, channel 11 in Little Rock telling about the state show.
"The 46th Annual event will take place Labor Day weekend, September 4,5, 6 & 7 at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock, Arkansas
This statewide event is one of the largest open arena shows in the world. Throughout the show you will be reaching over 16,000 horse advocates and spectators. There are around 1,800 horses showing each year with over 1,300 riders. The riders have been preparing for this annual event all spring and summer. The top 5 riders in each of the 12 associations, per event are selected to go to this state event.
You will find vendors with horse related needs such as saddles, boots, belts, hats, halters, jewelry, toys, wigs, furniture, horse care products and more.
Our major sponsor for the show every year is Farm Bureau and our net proceeds benefit Arkansas Children's Hospital."
As we prepare for the Arkansas State Championship Horse Show on Labor Day, we would like to thank the following businesses and people that have and are helping us along the way. We have great friends, family and customers that have given us great support and help throughout the year. We appreciate all that these people have done for us, we could not do it without you.
The state show is over and although we didn't make the finals both horses did great. We are about to hit the paint horse circuit with both horses. We will be starting with a 2 day show in Canton, Mississippi, followed by a one day show in Ruston, Louisiana and then a one day show in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Thank you to everyone that continues to support us as we are on the road showing these horses.

Larry Arrington, Jr.
Stephens, AR
Thanks Larry for all the help this year. Fred could have never gotten these horses rode and ready to show without your help. There is no way that we could have gotten 3 horses ready and qualified without you, especially with 2 of them needing to be in the same class. We are proud to have you riding and showing with us. Good luck at state. I know you and Fred both will be placing in the Top 10. Of course, we all know that Claire will be winning Walk-Trot this year.
