Horse Shoe Nail Award

Each year at least one staff show volunteer receives recognition for their outstanding service – someone who goes “above and beyond” during the current VA State Show. Nominations are made by the approximate 125 staff show volunteers. A poem describes this volunteer’s importance to our show:

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.

For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.

For want of a horse, the rider was lost.

For want of a rider, the battle was lost.

For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost,

And all for the want of a horseshoe nail!

2024 Horse Shoe Nail Recipient: Robin Wood - Course Designer and Volunteer in Hunter Pleasure and Working Hunter Divisions
