Hamel, MN – The Red Pine Horse Show Association is pleased to welcome Piper Klemm to the judging panel for the RPHSA Harvest Hill Farm Horse Show, to be held August 28-29 in Hamel, MN.

As the owner and publisher of The Plaid Horse magazine and as an equestrian studies professor, Klemm has dedicated much of her career to furthering her equestrian education and to sharing that education with others.

A lifelong equestrian and student of the sport, Klemm is also a strong advocate for promoting educational and fun horse show experiences, such as those offered by the RPHSA. Throughout 2021, Klemm has presided over horse shows throughout the U.S. that are working to increase the accessibility of horse showing and that are providing an affordable competition option for riders of all levels.

“The mission of the RPHSA is to provide an opportunity for horses and riders to build their confidence in the show ring,” said horse show manager Alex McKay. “We always want showing with us to be a fun and educational opportunity. To that end, we’re thrilled to have Piper joining us and bringing with her her knowledge and expertise as a judge and as someone that a lot of these kids look up to.”

The RPHSA Harvest Hill Farm Horse Show caters to riders that are just beginning to those jumping 3’. The show features a range of classes from Little Riders Walk-Trot through 1.10m Jumpers, all offered with these riders in mind.
