This weekend brings our favorite event of the social season, the Knollwood Knockout banquet.  We look forward to seeing everyone at the Legend at Bristlecone for social time at 6:30 this Saturday.

We have almost 150 friends coming to celebrate all things Knollwood, including most of our 'out of town' customers!

Seating is not assigned, and we will reserve seats for families with 4 or more members in attendance. Junior exhibitors are free to grab the front tables so they can sit with their friends and offer guidance to our presenters.

Highlights of the evening?

A delicious buffet dinner.

Susan’s treasurers’ report.

Trust us, it’s always entertaining and enlightening. Always looking ahead, Susan will be making a special announcement about next year's banquet, too.

The 2019 Knockout officers will recap the year before they turn the club over to the 2020 leaders.

They’ll also introduce the winner of the School Horse of the Year!
