December News

Latest Hoofpicks' News & Announcements for December

• Hoofpicks joined the Christmas parades recently.  See the parades page for some videos.
• We had outstanding participation for the Brown Santa volunteering.  Kids were sorting gifts like crazy and toys were literally flying to their proper bins!  We also helped a local family with their Christmas gifts.
  
• The Christmas Party on Sunday was also a hit.  We had tons of food and fun games (on and off the horses).  Special thanks goes out to Charles for quickly borrowing the WCSP tractor to repair the arena which was left in bad shape following the Livestock Show.
• Note: There will not be a meeting in December.
• Keep an eye on the web site for new news and event opportunities.  Also take advantage of our new Call Before You Haul #.  Just dial 522-HAUL before you make that long drive with horses and kids - just in case something is canceled or changed this will be another way for you to get the latest updates from our officers and leaders.  For all communications options visit http://hoofpicks.net/contact-us

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Re: Parade Practice

Great, thanks!

There is also a community service opportunity Tuesday after 3:00pm to help set up for the Livestock Show.
We can help move the folding chairs from the arena into the concession stand.  The sheriff's posse would really appreciate our club coming to their rescue.

Updates

Our November Open Horse Show was a success!  Thanks to all the officers and members who worked the show.  We had a lot of new people showing and the feedback we heard was great.  We also had several families interested in joining Hoofpicks.  Upcoming events include a Trail Ride 11/20/10, our next meeting is 11/30/10, and don't forget every Thursday there are activities such as Horse 101, open riding, and rodeo training opportunities at the Sheriff's Posse arena.  Also don't forget December 3rd is Hoofpicks' day to volunteer at the 4H County Livestock Show and you need to let Tim know when you can work.  The 4H County Youth Fair also needs volunteers on December 2nd.  Contact Janice if you would like to help with that.
