This month Jamie and Kelley McWhinney will cheer on Love Bugg, their entry in The Madness Three Year Old and Over Maiden Horse Western Pleasure, with Blake Britton in the saddle. Learn more about this team’s journey in this month’s Cover Story. In this issue we also look at the impact Western lifestyle is having in the mainstream, and get input from several NSBA members who have seen it first-hand. NSBA welcomes Bobby Smith as the newest recipient of the association’s prestigious Jack Benson Award. We also celebrate the 2024 $30.25 per point payout of NSBA’s Incentive Fund. In How Things Work, we review how exhibitors and horses can find their niche in the horse show world. In this month’s Foundation Feature, we recognize Mental Health Month as healthcare professional Hannah Yterdal shares tips on discussion mental health issues. All this and much more can be found in the May The Way To Go!
