Ongoing Investigation Results in Hold on $3.7 Million in 2013 NCHA Event Funding:
According to a piece by the Quarter Horse News, an ongoing investigation has resulted in the temporary suspension of $3.7 million in Texas State funding for NCHA events this year. The funding would come out of the Texas Major Events Fund for 2013 and is used for NCHA’s large Fort Worth-based events such as the NCHA Super Stakes, NCHA Summer Spectacular, and NCHA Futurity.
The NCHA Executive Board distributed a letter concerning the situation following a meeting earlier this week, which can be read at the link below.

Funny Friday! Mallory Beinborn’s “Runaway Pony” Video Will Appear on America’s Funniest Videos This Sunday, Jan. 13th
Funny Friday! Mallory Beinborn’s “Runaway Pony” Video Will Appear on America’s Funniest Videos This Sunday, Jan. 13th:
Mallory Beinborn of Impulse Photography has outdone herself again! This time, the talented young equine photographer has captured an accidental video during one of her recent photo shoots, which will appear this weekend on America’s Funniest Videos.
The video was taken during a photo shoot for Heritage Brand Tack. Beinborn says she was trying to get John Elliot Poellinger’s 3-year-old daughter to smile for photos. Poellinger and his friend, Jake Helgeson, came up with the ingenious idea of having Poellinger ride his daughter’s pony…
“The second he decided to get on the pony I switched my camera from photos to video, because I had a pretty good feeling that this would be REALLY funny!” Beinborn says. “Jake Helgeson was supposed to hold Cody the pony, but that sure didn’t happen!”
Tune in to America’s Funniest Videos this Sunday, January 13th at 6:00 p.m. to watch the video, or view a sneak peek by scrolling below…
