Message from
your President
The Washington Trust Slide will go down in the RHANW record books as the most fun show ever -- at least until next year. Sara Lesher, Lola Sample, John Harris and the grounds crew did a fabulous job. There were so many of you who helped out that I won't begin to mention names. And who knew that we had such amazing "limbo" talent among our fellow reiners! Thanks to your generous contributions toward the delicious Luau dinner prepared by Chris Lesher, we donated $250 to the Reardon High School Equestrian Team.
We now have a brief break in the action, but don't let those ponies get fat and lazy because the Spin Out & All Star Futurity is the 2nd weekend of September. This show will feature an NRHA Approved 3 Year Old Futurity with $2,000 added thanks to the generous sponsorship of Matt and Amber McDowell, owners of All Star Performance Horses. The classlist and entry form is included with this newsletter.
I want to thank all of you who have stepped out to help with all aspects of our club this year. It has made my job so much easier! We still need to fill a couple volunteer spots for the Spin Out, so please let me know if you would like to help out.
The current year end standings after the first three shows are now official and have posted on the Show Page. If you did not receive them or have not been receiving the monthly e-newsletter, please send me and e-mail at jpettit@ptera.net and we will update our records.
It’s hard to believe that we are already planning for the Year End Awards Banquet and the Annual Meeting. Please see the information in the newsletter about those events and let Gail Seeklander or me know if you are interested in serving as an Officer, Board Member or Committee Member.
We have had some great competition and tons of fun this year. Even though the last show was not as big as the first two shows of the year, the number of runs was 21% over the 2007 July show. Year to date our total runs are 34% higher than last year and the total money paid out has increased 29%.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the Spin Out and All Star Futurity.
