Hello Friends,
The March Meeting was lots of fun. It was great to see old faces and
make new friends. Dr. Irving Salkovitz from Wadleigh Falls
Veterinary Clinic spoke and as usual he was both entertaining and
educational.
We’ve confirmed our dressage clinic. It’s scheduled for July 8th in
Concord. This will be a great opportunity to learn from a local dressage
judge and trainer. Janet Briggs is an “r” rated Dressage judge and “R”
rated for Eventing. We’re offering private or group lessons. Groups will
not exceed 3 people. Auditors are welcome for $25 for non-members and
$20 for members. See below for more details.
It’s not too late to come to the beach. We’ll be riding at Hampton State
Park on 4/28 anytime after 2:00 p.m. and this year we have a
professional photographer ready to take your picture! Bill Fish of Bill
Fish Photography is donating his time to the club. Thanks Bill! Don’t
forget, you don’t have to ride to have fun. Come and enjoy a day at the
beach and a cookout. Photos from the day will be on Bill’s website at
ww.BillFishPhoto.PhotoReflect.com
In an effort to reach out to more Arabian enthusiasts we’ve added
Endurance Riding to our Year End Awards Program this year. And why not,
that’s just one of the sports that our versatile breed excels in! This
addition came directly as a request from our membership. Keep sending me
feedback. This club is for you.
Membership is on the rise and we would like to extend a warm welcome to
our new members from around the state and beyond!
