Our fundraiser - the Open Horse Show is coming up fast - November 7th.  We need everyone to volunteer to work, and please work on getting your sponsors so that they will get the benefits of being included on the first show.  The show committee has been working in the background preparing the rules, classes, showbill, arenas, etc. and we certainly appreciate their time and efforts.  Members be sure to fill out your showbills (found on the shows section of website) and send it in or bring it to the next meeting to get the discount.  It's going to be a great show and a fun time so don't miss it.

Lastly, please keep up with the website... Ashley is posting very useful information, and you will likely find something new every day.  Please send any news, pictures, or requests to her email at hoofpicks.historian@gmail.com....
