Region Five Championship – Day Two
July 23, 2010
A family travels a long way to see the Region Five Championship in Lexington, Virginia.

Not too long ago, Shawna Hett and her daughter, Tessa, left their home in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to see Shawna’s older daughter at Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista, Virginia.
Shawna was an amateur exhibitor, qualifying for the AQHA World Championship Show in hunter hack, and when she found out that the Region Five Championship was in Lexington, Virginia, she had to drop in to see what was going on.
While hanging on the rail in the humid Virginia sunshine watching trail, Shawna and Tessa bumped into Peter J. Cofrancesco III and they struck up a conversation.
When last seen, Peter was trying to talk Shawna into getting back into showing horses, and Tessa was looking over the available horses trying to decide which one she liked best.
It’s a long way from British Columbia to Virginia, but the American Quarter Horse can bridge the gap.
