Sunrise West Links - Other web sites we Endorse
We are very particular about what sites are listed here. This is not merely a "trade links" page. These sites are those of friends and products we endorse and use.
National Pole Bending Association (NPBA)
A National Pole Bending Association has been established. This will provide a reason to go on with those good high school horses, and will provide places for pole benders to compete for real dollars. The first annual national championship show was held in 2006, where over 150 horses competed for over $30,000. In addition, there are several pole bending futurities in the west, with substantial added money. Ken Smith of Sunrise West Quarter Horses is a founding member of the NPBA. The NPBA web site has all the information. To visit the NPBA site, click on the following link: www.polebending.org
