July 2007 Secretary's Letter

From your Secretary

The theme for the AQHYA World Show in 2007 is Dream, Believe, Achieve. How true it is that it all begins with a Dream. MWRHA hopes that we can help our members with the Achieve part of the equation by offering our members the opportunity to learn more about reining, providing the opportunity to show their horses and achieve their personal goals as members of the reining family. Ideally, we hope you make friends and have fun along the way, and it is our goal to offer something for everyone in these areas. If there is something you would like to see us include, we need you to let us know. To date, I have only received three surveys back, ( and one of them was mine!). We really need your input.

Summer is now officially underway, and I hope that all of you are enjoying the show season. The Illinois State Fair is now history, and it was nice to see so many MWRHA members and their horses in attendance. The Pizza Party on Friday night was great. Thanks to Anita Daggett for making the wonderful desserts. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other.

This past weekend we attended the Nova Smith open reining show in Mokena. The weather was picture perfect and I personally enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces in the pen. The atmosphere is really good for those without a lot of show ring experience and for those whose names we see in the Reiner, it is a good place to do some schooling. Thanks to all to attended!

Only one more show left for us this year, and it is the Premier Classic down in New Castle, Indiana. Please stop at the show office if you have some time to assist while you are there. Even an hour or two is a great contribution, and will be appreciated.

Congratulations to Gabe Hutchins for a big win at the Clayton Woolsey Hall of Fame Reining in Kentucky. Gabe won the USEF Open Reining Championship riding Juiced Up Doc owned by Lee Schild. Tim McQuay and Shawn Flarida tied for reserve.

The next newsletter to be mailed will include your directory and will be sent the third week of August. I hope to have the year-end standings for you as well at that time.

Thanks to all my new friends for helping me learn the Secretary’s job, and for your patience while I learn.
