Happy Spring !!!

  Finally some riding Weather!!! Hope everyone is out enjoying their horses and getting ready for this years upcoming events.

 This month will be a busy one for many of our youth members. Schooling shows have been in full swing for the last couple weeks and this month is our show here in Spokane. To prepare for the upcoming show season we will be having a grooming clinic and trail ride here at my house in Deer Park on May 10th. We will be showing you how to prepare your horse for the show ring from hoof polish to ear clipping. We will meet at 1pm and try to hit the trail by 2pm. We will have our May meeting at that time.  We will be discussing voting in a Youth President, Vice President, youth campout, and revised calendars. Since this is Mother's day weekend we would like to encourage all the moms to come and be a part of the ride and stay for dinner! Please let me know if you need a horse and what riding ability you are at. We may have a horse or two to lend out.  All riders and parents must sign a waiver WASHINGTON STATE IS A "RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK STATE"!

 May is horse show month for the IEAHC! We will be hosting back to back class A shows at the Spokane Fairgrounds on May 22-25. This is the big fundraiser for the youth group so please plan to bed stalls Tuesday May 20 before the show. We meet at 4:30pm at the fairgrounds. Pizza dinner to follow.

 If you have a drawing, painting, short story or poem you would like to submit for the Art contest please bring it along or mail it to me. We will have voting throughout the show and a Champion and Reserve Champion will be awarded at the end of the show.

 Shirt orders are in!! Please call Traci to arrange pick up or come to any of our events to pick up your order. There will be another order going out soon so please call Traci (879-4238) to see when that will be. 

 PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS AS ALWAYS. Hope to see you all on the 10th and good luck to all our IEAHC YOUTH GROUP competitors!!!!
