Master Horsemen and retired school principals Perry Fontenot and Francis Richard met with
hundreds of high school students from St. Landry and Evangeline Parish to explain careers in the horse industry at Northwest High School this week. They represented the Louisiana Equine Industry in teaching high school kids about equine careers. Perry Fontenot is also the Youth Chair for the Louisiana Equine Council.

integral to the Louisiana equine industry while being unselfish in the nature of their actions. This award is not merely to congratulate people for being successful competitors, breeders, etc. Anyone may nominate a candidate for consideration.

The Fall Women's Riding Retreat at Rustic Sky kicked off today with an evening of delicious Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, potato salad, garlic bread and peach cobbler followed by a Pajama Party & Contest which was coordinated by Cherie Britton! Prizes were given for the Craziest and Cutest pajamas! A brief break was taken while LEC board members clad also in pajamas did a presentation about the benefits of becoming a member of The Louisiana Equine Council. Happy Broussard refused to toss on his PJ's for this event but did an excellent job in his presentation just the same!
