As mentioned before, many of our exhibitors from the first years of the MWVHSC (1982) went on with their lives and have recently returned to the showring. One of these special people is Penny Noyes.
In fact, Penny is probably the singlemost person out there with exception of family, that this writer has known since pre- kindergarden days. My very first pony was purchased from Penny's Dad, Stubby Noyes in 1952.
Penny grew up with us at the Lancaster Fair. Her Dad was also the course designer for the hunters, back when the hunter/jumpers had their own barns, their own ring, hunt course, Steward, Judge, Announcer and Secretary's Booth. The Lancaster Fair "family" was, at the time, very large.
Through the years Penny competed on Quarter N Ranch horses. Her Broadway Joe was a familiar sight at the Fair. Most recently, Penny is showing her Pinto, Ariel's Rowdy Fan. Penny and "Franny" returned to the show ring this year in grand style, winning numerous Year End Awards.
Penny is looking forward to driving Franny in the Pleasure Driving classes, competing in the Mini/Pony Halter Classes, Costume, and In Hand Trail.
The MWVHSC would like to welcome Penny back to the ring and we wish to honor her years of loyalty to the horse community and her friendship over the last 50+ years.
