It is one of the most innovative programs in the country,” as Frank Hennessy describes it. continued ...
“I have participated in the Region 12 Spotlight program since its inception. The program allows us to procure breedings to significant stallions, and if the resulting foal meets all expectations and more, the possibility of sharing the Spotlight prize money is thrilling. The program is extremely important to the Region 12 Championship show, too, in that it brings a multitude of entries now, in both halter and performance.” – Denni Mack
