1. How long have you been a vendor at CCHS? 

We have been a vendor since 2007.

2. What do you like best about being at the show? 

We love our location overlooking the indoor Show Place Arena, where we can watch all the amazing horses and riders and cheer for all our customers. It's such a special show that really showcases the best of the best, so it's cool see so much of the action.

3. How does being a vendor at CCHS help your business? 

We get to see a lot of customers at Capital Challenge who we rarely see at other horse shows, since so many riders come from across the country for this event.

4. What is new or exciting in 2026 for JODS?

We are celebrating 20 years in business this year! Time has flown by, and we are very grateful for the relationships we've built over the years and for our continued success and growth. We're excited to have a larger space at CCHS this year, which will allow us to showcase our merchandise and provide a wide selection of styles and sizes to suit many riders.
