44/ AUGUST 2023 THE RIDER
Winner Announced for 2023 PNHS Poster and Program Cover Art Contest
Harrisburg, PA – July 28, 2023 – The Pennsylvania National Horse Show team is pleased to announce that Susan DiFelice of Chapel Hill, NC, has been named the winner of the 2023 PNHS Poster and Program Cover Art Contest. DiFelice’s piece “Behind
the Scenes at PNHS” met the
judging criteria of creativity, originality, quality of design and unique representation of The Pennsylvania National Horse Show, earning DiFelice the con- test’s $1,000 grand prize. “I visited the PNHS for the
first time in 2022,” explained DiFelice in the written submis- sion that accompanied her art-
work. “During the show, I en- joyed exploring the indoor com- plex and took photos of horses being warmed up behind the scenes and shown in both arenas. I combined elements from sev- eral of these photos to create the illustrated scene that I submitted. It is inspired by the calm and focus I saw in the young riders as
they prepared to enter the arena to show under the lights at the USEF Hunter Seat Medal Fi- nals.”
Receiving honorable men-
tion recognition, including gift certificates toward PNHS mer- chandise are Mona Snell, Bridget Hanley, Zane Ruth and Claudia
Youngblood. DiFelice’s creation will be
featured on the official PNHS 2023 poster and program cover, both of which will be available for purchase in the Main Lobby at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex on Cameron Street in Harrisburg, PA. The 77th annual
Pennsylvania National Horse Show opens on Thursday, Octo- ber 12 and runs through Sunday, October 22, 2023.
