The July Show at Wright's Arena in Stanley, NM, was a highly successful show.  Sincere appreciation is given to all who helped make the show possible.  Without all the help from members, staff, exhibitors, and sponsors, we could not do what we do. Marilyn Novat served as Show Manager and did a great job. Thanks for all the hard work, Marilyn. You are special!

Special thanks is also extended to all the sponsors. We all appreciated the informative presentation by Purina. Thanks is given to the judges, Barbara Pettitt of Colorado, and Bill Golliet of New Mexico. We appreciate you spending two days with us!

The office would not be what it was, always pleasant and wonderful, with lots of help from Kathy, Nancy and Lillian, without their superior teamwork. 

At our July show, we offered the first Paid Trail Warm-up to benefit our youth. It ran smoothly with all the adult help. Thanks to Sabrina and Dave Pack, JoBob Griffin, Todd Cleveland, and Ron Morris.  The proceeds helped to pay for the youth party and also they had some left over. 

This show also marked the first youth party! Special thanks is given to Sue Bragg for getting the pizza. Serina Pack, Youth President, made special "Fun-Award" certificates, purchased and made prizes, and ran a beautiful, fun party for the youth. We also thank Serina for the lovely art work donation for a club fundraiser and all the beautiful art prints that were welcome gifts to all exhibitors. Plus, Serina made bags of horse treats for all the horses who worked so hard!

The paddock ran smoothly because of the kind efforts of Dave Pack on Saturday and John Bloomburg on Sunday. We thank our Ring Stewarts, Faith and Tara Turner, Jo Bob Griffin and Dennis Wood.

The show's success appreciation is also extended to Ron Morris, Dottie Cleveland, Bernice Zielke and Sue Bragg, and all the officers who served as help throughout the show in many positions. Also, thanks to Sabrina Pack for all the extra things she did for the show. The prize tables were great with signs and the listing of past winners, was great recognition to members' hard work. We don't want to miss thanking everyone--so here is a thanks to all!  You are all great and we thank you sincerely.

We were lucky to have had Kandie Kingery from Stone Creek Photography taking our show photos at the show.  You can visit her web site at www.stonecreekphotography.smugmug.com to see photos.

We were truly excited about the number of exhibitors at our July Show and invite everyone to our next show in August.

We also hope to see you at Dan's Boots and Saddles on Saturday August 28th from 10 to 3 for a GIGANTIC TAG SALE.   Dan's has offered to host the sale!  All proceeds will go to our Year End High Point Awards. The New Mexico Paint Horse Club will be there.  The sponsorship committee will man the sale but can certainly use some help.  So if you can volunteer some time to help make sales and talk up our Paint Horses we would be delighted!!!  AND, even more important, if you have anything at all (tack, farm and ranch related items, clothing, furniture, household items, etc) to donate to the Garage Sale please call either Sue Bragg 307/8876 or Dottie Cleveland 401/4435.  We will co ordinate the pick up of donations.  Now is a great time to clean out your closets, garages and barns all for a good cause, your club!!!
