A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant and time to pluck that which is planted."

Raymond Adams
6/25/37 - 2/4/09
Mr. Raymond loved to come to
all the shows and watch his granddaughters,
Kyndal and Baylee Adams
as they rode. He always
had a smile on his face and something to eat at his tent.
Paul Baggett
12/7/43 - 5/17/08
Mr. Paul had a deep love for horses, especially paints. He always had a
story to tell about his horses and
others could tell stories on him as well. He was a character -
often being stopped as he began
to drive off because he forgot to
load a horse or shut a door.
He loved gatherings, especially
when food was served.
Beverly Odom
6/14/58 - 2/28/05
Beverly will long be remembered as a wholehearted competitor and a caring friend. She was a challenge to veteran riders and an inspiration to new riders.
Beverly was straight forward and very direct, she rode hard with determination
to win, but could be a good loser if required at the end.
Beverly created the Most Improved Rider award in 2002.
The award is currently being continued in her memory and renamed
"The Beverly Odom Most Improved Rider Award"

John Benton
2/19/49 - 9/12/08
In January 2006, John carried his granddaughter, Sarah, and her horse to the Mitchell County Saddle Club Horse Show. This was the beginning of our wonderful experiences at horse shows. We also joined Deep Dixie Association, and Sarah, as well as other grandchildren (Blake, Hunter, Michael and Kelsi) participated too.
John worked hard teaching them all he could about riding. Beau Rosencrantz was, and still is, a great help too. Horse shows became a family tradition, and the folks at the horse shows were, and still are, like family to us. John looked forward to each and every show, and he was so proud of the children's accomplishments.
On September 12, 2008, John went to the Deep Dixie Association Banquet. He saw Sarah get a trophy, went outside, and left his world. He was where he wanted to be, with family, doing what he loved to do.
