Travis Craft Replaces Paul Robbins at Gulf Coast Charity
Monday, April 20, 2015


SHOW HIO judge Paul Robbins, along with show management of the Gulf Coast Charity Horse Show, have made the collaborative decision for Robbins to step down as one of this year's judges.  Robbins came forward with show management that he had sold a colt to a customer of Hugh Stables within the 30 day window thus preventing them from participating at the Gulf Coast Show.

Robbins did not want to hurt the entries at the show and therefore made the decision along with the management of the Gulf Coast Charity to be replaced.  Entries at Walking Horse shows are at a premium and this decision will increase entries and the charitable contributions of the horse show.

"Robbins is to be applauded for his integrity," stated show manager, Todd Fisher. Fisher also stated, "We are equally excited to announce that Travis Craft will now hold the position as the third judge. 

The show is scheduled for April 24-25 in Columbia, Tenn.. located at Maury County Parks & Recreation. For additional information contact Todd Fisher at 850-527-2354.
