We would like to take a moment to
remember Steve Wilson. Our hearts go out
to his family at this time.
He was one of the original organisers and
avid promoter of the Gaited Horse Show.
Originally from Kentucky, he settled in
Armstrong with his family and brought the
Rocky Mountain Horses that he loved up
from Kentucky to breed, raise and promote.
For the past 17 years you would find Steve
and his family showing horses and
volunteering their time at the show.
