SEC Receives Rave Reviews

In a recent survey developed by Shallowbrook in efforts to build upon successes and make improvements for future Shallowbrook horse shows, Shallowbrook received rave reviews of the improved quality of their horse shows.

One survey respondent commented, “A great amount of effort is being made to by improving this facility, the weather was the only down fall, but that too was accommodated for by the ability to move two rings to the indoor and sand. Great Job!!!” 33 out of 39 respondents rated the grass and sand rings excellent or good with one respondent adding, “beautiful indoor, excellent footing and great jumps.” The satisfaction of the entry gifts and awards received high ratings as well with one respondent adding, “this is our favorite part of Shallowbrook…and what keeps my customers going back every year!” See the full article in this month’s Horsemen’s Yankee Pedlar.
