February 2010

We had our first training show on February 14th at the Valencia County Fairgrounds in Belen.  it was a quite a nice day but could have been a little bit warmer!  We are sure that the March show (March 28th at Sandia Vista Arena) will be warmer by far.  Thanks to all the folks who came out to support us!  Also a huge thank you to Paul's Veterinary Supply for providing our daily high point awards, some basic grooming goodies, shampoo, conditioner and spray on white (who does not need that if you have a paint! and a rubber curry in a canvas tote bag.  We appreciate everything that Paul's does for us!  Our High Point Award winners were:

Novice Amateur Patty Disert on Sierra

Amateur Dottie Cleveland on PW Gallant Playboy

Youth Colleen Sells on Just Spot my Dot

Open Cindy Cook on Sadie

everyone that joined the club and entered a class gets a chance to draw on this years Participation Award Saddle.  Thanks to to our volunteers, Kim Murphy and Glenda Young for their ring stewarding, Kathy Niebert at Paddock, Berniece Zielke as announcer.
