Spring 2013 Newsletter
Another show season is fast approaching and we can’t wait to see what it will bring. We will again be having a payback event with $ added for the September show.
We do have a few items to address before the season begins to help make the season run smoothly. Many of you already know that horses are not allowed in certain areas on the lake county grounds and it is indicated on the map below. Please take some time to look at the map as we are under contract to say out of those areas and damages done by hoof prints could result in us loosing our privileges to use the fairgrounds for future shows. Also everyone needs to clean up all horse manure even if it’s not yours, wheel barrows and the proper utensils are left out at each show to allow for easy pick-up.
Just one more thing our shows run on volunteers running our gate, helping in the announcing stand and setting up each event. Last year there were several people who stepped up to help and they couldn’t be thanked enough. We need added help this year to make things run as smoothly and timely as possible for another successful show season. If you are wondering how you can help feel free to contact us or just ask at any of the shows this year.
We are going to have a variety of prizes and awards this year. If you win the Year-End High Point or Reserve High Point in your age group you will get to choose one of the following awards…
