The Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds in Quincy hosted horse shows on May 2-3, emphasizing the non-verbal language of 'feel' between horse and rider. - Events included Feather River College ranch horse schooling show and High Mountain Riders working horse equitation show.

- Participants ranged from age 3 to 78, with horses of all sizes. - The 'feel' approach, pioneered by Tom Dorrance, promotes partnership over force.

- Women were prominently featured, reflecting historical roles in horse training. The shows highlighted a modern, gentle approach to horse training, replacing 'breaking' with 'starting a colt.'
