March CPAHA News Letter

 

Date: March 2009

President’s letter to members and friends of CPAHA

 

Hello again,

Another new year has begun.  Your leaders, headed up by Tom Lynch, are busy planning the annual CPAHA class A horse show.  As always, it will be in Raleigh on August 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd.  Donnie Bullock will be judging in the main ring.  Mary Lewis will be the Sport Horse judge and Jan Jacobson will be the Dressage judge.

Our website is back up.  The new address is www.cpaha.net.  There was a problem with the old one – it’s a long story and it doesn’t really matter.  At any rate our webmaster, Bennie Foy, has us back on line again.

Also this year, after an absence of several years we are re-launching the youth program.  Jayne Maurer and her daughter Kristen have it well underway.  Old friends of CPAHA’s, Melanie Bell, and her daughter have graciously agreed to help them with the effort.  This year, as a project, they will be taking a CPAHA team to the Region 12 Youth Jamboree.  For those of you not familiar with the Jamboree, it is a Region 12 sponsored horse show exclusively for the youth of the region.  It has all the stuff a normal horse show has but also offers clinics, contests and is just a lot of fun getting to know like-minded kids from around the region.  It is July 16-20^th at Clemson.  See http://www.aharegion12.com/youth-program/index.html for more information or contact Jayne. 

You will be hearing more about this as it gets closer.  Please contact Jayne (at 704-467-2621) if you have a kid that you think might be interested.  To fund this effort we are going to be participating in the Southern States Label program.  I will be asking for your support in this program as I learn more about the process.

As we re-invigorate the club we hope to be able to offer you affordable things you can do with your horses and fun reasons to have them.  We are working hard to keep the cost of both the Jamboree trip and the CPAHA show reasonable.  For example, at this year’s August show the board has voted to keep stall fees the same as last years.

Hang in there. 

             Dan Regan
