PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Happy New Year!
I am both honoured and humbled to be serving as your OPHC President for another term. Over the past 2 short years, our club has shown growth in both our shows and our membership numbers. The board of directors works extremely hard to keep things running smoothly and ensure everyone has fun at our events. We promise to do the same for 2026. From fun events to free dinners and added monies, 2026 is shaping up to be one of our best seasons yet!
Sunday, February 8 is our annual AGM and awards luncheon, in Rockton. Details can be found on our Facebook page and website. Be sure to get your tickets and come on out for a great afternoon and an excellent meal.
2026 is the Year of the Horse and I promise you, we have some great ideas in the works to make sure you're going to have a great season with yours!
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you February 8!
Until then, stay warm!
Liz
