VOTE FOR

Tiffany Washington Beechinor & Takoda Moon to be

America's Favorite Trail Horse!

I began riding as soon as I could sit on a horse by myself.  Over the years I have dabbled in Trial Riding, Parades, Western Showing, and tried Reining in High School and at Fresno State. The one event that I have always come back to and had the most fun with is Competitive Trail Trials and Extreme Cowboy Racing. The challenge of taking your horse over obstacles and having the trust that your horse is willing to do whatever obstacle they are confronted with is an amazing feeling.  My family has been raising and training American Bashkir Curly Horses for 20 years. We have participated in 12 Rose Parades and 16 Hollywood Christmas Parades over the years.  I now have a new Curly Horse I purchased a year and a half ago as an untrained two year old and have been training him for the last seven months to compete in these kinds of events.  A year ago I learned about a new competition called America's Favorite Trail Horse. After watching the first season I told myself that I was going to have the first Curly Horse to compete in and win America's Favorite Trail Horse in season two and immediately started training for it.

The America's Favorite Trail Horse competition consists of 50 riders, 25 Pro riders and 25 Pleasure riders who were chosen to compete from the applicants who entered.  Each week 10 riders 5 Pro and 5 Pleasure will have their videos shown on the ACTHA.TV Website. The winner from each week will move to the finals. The final will consist of the winners from the last 5 weeks and the videos will be shown and voted on by the public. The winner receives a Belt Buckle and $2,300. I am asking for the help of the horse community to vote for me and my Curly Horse Takoda Moon.  It is my goal to show America what great horses Curlies are. I am one of the first five Pro contestants riding in the first week.  Voting starts next Tuesday, May 15th at 7pm CST @ www.actha.tv . Voting is open for 48 hours and you can vote one time per email address. Here is the website that shows all the contestants. http://www.actha.us/afth?utm_ source=Mailer

I hope you can support me and Takoda Moon by informing the local community about our participation in this great event.  I would appreciate as many votes as possible next week so that I might make it into the finals.

Curliest Regards,

Tiffany Washington Beechinor
