PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Greetings everyone!
It's been a crazy hot summer but it seems that the cooler nights are here to give us a bit of relief in time to get ready for our September Spotacular show. We'll have lots of prizes and added money available to win in our all breed stake classes. We have many generous sponsors to thank for helping us hold these again this year.
Speaking of sponsors, Timmy McKinnon Farrier service will be donating a stall and 5 bags of shavings to 2 lucky youth exhibitors at the show. Names will be randomly drawn on Saturday. One youth per family will be eligible! Thank you so much Timmy for this generous donation!
Saturday evening we'll be holding a potluck dinner, so watch the Facebook page for information on what to bring.
Get your stalls booked! You won't want to miss this show!
This September will mark my 25th year of showing with the Ontario Paint Horse Club. In that 25 years I have made some of my best horse show memories! We have held shows from Ilderton to Ottawa, showed in the pouring rain, wind and on some of the hottest days I can remember. The friendships made and experiences had along the way are priceless. I wouldn't trade any of it! Whether you are new to the club or have been here as long as I have (or longer!) take lots of pictures and enjoy the ride!
See you in September!
Liz
