Bienvenue au Brandon for AHA Canadian Nationals
The Assignment
Modern Arabian Horse editor Susan Bavaria assigned me to cover the 2015 Canadian National Arabian & Half Arabian Championship Show on-site in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. She asked me for a first-person account as a competitor and to be an on-scene storyteller, using vignettes about other competitor experiences and some scene-setting background about the facility and location to round out the piece.
The Delivery
At the deadline, I delivered the 5000-word fact-checked copy. I also proofread layouts to ensure the photos chosen from the official show photographer’s shots were credited correctly for the piece.
