I’ve seen people go all out on show stall decorating, but never quite like this! The 2023 Stall Decorating Contest at this past week’s 7th Annual Pony Spectacular at Tryon is a new level of commitment that makes me wish I could be a junior rider again.
We’ve got what seems to be a pony boardwalk with the hilarious tagline “Everything’s a Beach”, including mini golf, pizza and ice cream shops… and is that a homemade “StallBall” game? The Pirate League comes complete with swords, a snack table, and outlaw pony wanted posters, but that Barbie Beach House backdrop is blowing my mind — and is also making me very excited for the Barbie movie release next week (anyone else?). We should find a way to make this standard for all summer events moving forward — kiddie pools and margaritas required.
Congrats to the winners, Castlewood Farms with their #1 Hawaiian beach entry!
