Staying in Touch
    “Does it get any better than
    this?

    ABSOLUTELY!.”
I hope everyone has had a fantastic summer.

As we prepare for our Fall Season I have to look back and recap our Spring Season.
Included in this newsletter is a summary of winners, scholarship recipients, and some
outstanding records set. We gave away more prizes, we had more contestants, and
we set more records in scholarships given. We had more trail rides, and most of all
we had more fun than ever before. I know that you have to ask yourself; Does it get
any better than this? ABSOLUTELY!

So come join us for the BIGGEST Fall Season ever.

Thank You to those who came to our rescue at the MCHC arena on Wednesday, June
16, when our Paint, Lexus, showed symptoms of severe pain.  Thanks to the timely
help from others at the arena, we were able to understand the severity of the
problem, contact a vet, and get the horse to Texas A&M where they did surgery that
night to remove a blockage in the large intestine.  As "Rookie" horse owners, I'm
convinced that Lexus would be not with us today and doing great if not for the kind
help we received that evening.
