District Horse Show Results

2009-05-05T09:38:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to all those who competed in the District Horse show.

Meagan Lapkoff
Emily Hall
Sarah Dippy
Maddy Pipitone
Amanda Guest
Allison Keogh
Alyssa Quinn
Hannah McGrath

Every member that competeted qualified for the state show and we had three division champions (Sarah, Allison and Maddy) and two reserve champions(Amanda and Hannah)
Everyone placed well and, more importantly, displayed good sportsmanship, learned more about showing and hopefully had fun!

If you plan to go to state you should have picked up your entry, signed by Jessica, before you left. If you have not attended the state show before you must verify your classes with Angela or Ashley. We also must coordinate tack stalls. Last year the club paid for tack stalls but then had three people change their minds about attending, so we will handle that differently this year. Again, do not send in your entries without speaking with Angela or Ashley.

Next Meeting- May 26th

2009-05-05T09:29:00.000-07:00

Our next club meeting is May 26th. We will be making "Mop Horses" and Jasmine and Allison will do their presentation on "Jumper's verses Hunters" (If anyone else would like to do a presentation there is still time, county activity day is on Thursday, May 28. Nick and Dan have listed several days to help with presentations, and I am willing to help as well.) Remember, this is the last meeting until fall.

The Christmas Party was a huge success! I'll bet we all gained five pounds. Thank you to Karen, Steve and Amanda for sharing your beautiful home. It was a wonderful atmosphere for a group of wonderful kids. I hope everyone has a peaceful holiday season.

Project Books

2008-12-10T08:28:00.000-08:00

Great Job Everyone!!!!

The project books look great. I have been looking over them and want to thank you for putting in the time and effort that you did. Now we turn them over to the county office and they will be judged on the county level. Two from each age group and division will go on to be judged at the district level. Two from each catagory will go from district to state in March. You will get it back.... but it may be a while. Again, you can all be very proud of your club...twelve project books...wonderful!
