JULY NEWS

"But seriously, tell us how you REALLY feel!"

 

     The Seekins Ford Fair Circuit is just around the corner and you know what that means... Fall is knocking on our door! It's hard to believe that the Alaskan show season is nearly over, but it's sadly true! Please remember that if you plan to attend the fair show, you'll need to go to the website and download the parking permit and stall card forms. Both are due in Fairbanks before the end of the month. Also at the fair is our annual summer general membership meeting. Plan to attend after the show on Friday near the show office by the big, shiny Ford trucks. Saturday will be our "Plan B" day if the weather doesn't cooperate. We want to hear all your fresh ideas for 2011!

 

     Just because the show season ends in early August doesn't mean we're putting our boots up for winter just yet! There's the 4H/4FUN show at Bluegrass Equestrian Center in Wasilla on August 14th. Becky Ross is hosting the show for ASQHA and everyone is invited to come have some fun! Then, the following Saturday is Extreme Trail, also at Bluegrass August 21st. Finally, ASQHA has plans to sponsor two AQHA Rides in the fall so be watching the website for more information on those.

 

     If you're hoping to win that "Trip anywhere QHs are showcased" at the banquet, you'd better start requesting those patches! All requests must go through the website email so we can keep track of all patch requests and all patch approvals. It's a bit overwhelming to keep it all organized so help us out by sendingins your request shortly after the event. If you've competed at a circuit, attended a meeting, volunteered at a show, or participated in a clinic, check the specs for each patch on the "Incentive Programs" link on our website and then send us your Patch Request! All patches will be quickly verified and you will receive an email inviting you to log on and sign up for each patch you've earned. There, you can see all your fellow "patch earners" so you'll know who your competition is for that plane ticket :)! DEADLINE TO SUBMIT PATCH REQUESTS IS SEPTEMBER 30th

 

     The SuperYouth Challenge Perpetual Trophy was launched at the Southcentral Craig Taylor Circuit. Congratulations to Tori Roach for earning the first win. And a big "Thank You" to Gaby Larry for getting the beautiful medals for our winners. The final go-round will be at the Seekins Fair Show on Friday right after Leadline. If you're a youth who's versatile and can switch from Showmanship, to Hunt Seat Eq., to Horsemanship in less than 5 minutes, this class is for you! You're allowed up to two "ring helpers" to get you changed from one discipline to the other. All breeds are welcomed and the entry fee is on us! Just sign up in the show office on Friday morning. Whoever earns the most points takes the gorgeous trophy home until 2011!

 

     Mark your calendar for the Annual Awards Banquet and Convention held in Anchorage this year on October 23rd. We hope to see you all there to collect your hard-earned loot or just to cheer on your favorite rider. Remember that there are several open offices for 2011-2012. Contact Gaby Larry through the website if you're interested in running or if you just want to nominate a fellow member. Remember that in order to run for office, you have to have been a member in 2009 and a current member this year as well.

   

See you on the Rail!

Laura Fitzgerald O'Neal

ASQHA President

AQHA Professional Horseman
