IAHA |
The American Horse Shows Association (AHSA) hosted
an Open House and Reception for members of the International Arabian Horse
Association's (IAHA) Region XIV and participants in the 2001 Region XIV
Silverama Horse Show on Friday, June 29, 2001. The Open House was followed by a
reception during which IAHA Region XIV officers presented the AHSA with a gift,
an exquisite sculpture of a Mare and Foal, named "Caring," created by
the artist, Shary B. Akers to welcome the AHSA to its Kentucky location. The
sculpture, as well as other art made by Akers, was displayed at the AHSA
offices. The Silverama Horse Show was held June 27-July 1, 2001 at the Kentucky
Horse Park, Lexington, KY.
Larry Kinneer, First Vice Chairman of Region XIV, commented, "This
sculpture came to symbolize more than just a gift but also the determination of
the artist, Shary Akers, to help her overcome some health problems."
