TOP VOLUNTEER AWARD--Chief Steward Mark Fornwalt, retired Army colonel (now you know why he is so good at his job!), receives The Good Horseman Award for Exceptional Volunteer Service at the GHF shows. The plaque is intended to be hung in his office at Georgia Pacific, which encourages volunteer service for its employees, for which The Good Horseman Foundation is forever grateful.  Without Mark Fornwalt, these shows would not be what they are today--correct and fun for participants.  The award is presented by show manager Ann Genovese.
