States Final info

Thank you to everyone who was out at the barn Sunday! I think everything looks great. Here are a few reminders for the upcoming week:

TUESDAY, July 1

We will be at the barn before noon if anyone needs anything.

Sometime in the afternoon our three Walking/Racking kids are showing at Broadbent if you have a chance to come out.

Tuesday at 7:00 PM we would like all Horse-N-Around members to come to the barn for pizza. All drill team members need to be there unless they are showing. We will have pizza and drinks, then the show tack will be handed out. Michael will have a short meeting on State stuff, and Jeff will have some information about the drill team competition. After that, all drill team horses should be tacked up and checked by Coach Radcliff. The kids will use their tack for the practice Tuesday night at Broadbent Arena. The green drill team shirts should be worn with jeans and boots, with your helmet of course to both drill team practices.

Our scheduled practice time is at 9:15 with one run…after your tack is hung back up and your horses are taken care of you are released. The Woods will be staying in the barn, those of you who have already arranged for your kids to stay at the barn and you are not staying, please make sure I have a number to reach you.

WEDNESDAY, July 2

We have 12 entered: Flag race and Stake Race starting at 8 AM., AT 3:00 PM Outdoor Arena. Each team will have 2 runs or 30 minutes. Wednesday night we will have dinner (Chicken) at the barn between 6 and 7 PM. After that we will be getting the kids and horses ready for the competition, the small teams will start at 7 and have eight (8) entries so it will probably be a late night.

After the competition: hang your tack up and take care of your horse. The Woods will be staying in the barn, those of you who have kids staying please make sure I have a number to reach you.

4H Meeting Reminder – Tues., April 15th 7pm

Just a reminder tomorrow night we have a 4-H meeting at 7:00 PM. We are completing the District and State registration forms.

You must bring the following forms in order to register:
1. Eligibility form on your Project horse
2. District Registration form
3. State Registration form with the same classes listed as on your district form.
4. If you are a Drill Team member, a second State form must be filled out with the information on the horse you are riding in Drill Team even if it is your project horse.
5. If you do not own your project horse a Lease/Loan agreement must be completed and signed.

6. A check for $50.00 made out to District 3 Horse Management Team. (Checks will be cashed May 1.)
7. A copy of your Coggins and Health Certificates on both your Project and Drill team horses.

Ride-A-Thon money is also due with your pledge sheets tomorrow. There will be a prize awarded to the member with the most money raised. (Yes, you can still add to your pledge sheets until tomorrow night).

Drill Team: There will be no fee’s this year for Drill Team State registration since the drill team has enough funds to pay the $400.00 entry fee for the team. Hopefully we will have the completed Drill team schedule by tomorrow. The next Drill Team practice will be with horses this Friday at the Waddy Arena 7PM. Be ready to ride. Remember if you can’t make it you need to call Jeff, or Yvette.

Web Site: The web site is up and running! Go to forums and sign up to be a member. You must use your real name so we know who you are. A new addition to the web site – if you have photo’s from Districts or States you can send them to the web site and share them with the whole club. Click on the Contact Us link at the top of the page.

Sorry, so many notes but as most of you know the paperwork will take up most of tomorrow night’s time, so we will have a very short meeting.

Meeting Agenda

Call to Order
Pledge
Introductions
District and State entry forms questions

See you tomorrow,

Jessica

4H Update

Sorry this is so late, we were waiting for Jeff to get back in town to check with him.

The people from the barn were happy with the way the barn was returned, Michael spent two hours out there Sunday morning, cleaning the barn up, making repairs in the grass, and picking up horse poop in the roadways. They do rent out the facility, it’s not available this Friday and it will be too wet to have practice with horses any where else. Jeff would like to have a “no horse” practice tomorrow if Yvette can get the church location for us. Watch for an e-mail from Yvette to see if we will have a “no horse” practice tomorrow at 7 PM. Michael is working on scheduling drill team practices for the season and should have a schedule available at Tuesdays meeting (April 15th).

Tuesday, April 15th we will have our monthly meeting which will mostly be filling out District and State paperwork. You need to bring $50.00 entry fee, coggins and health certification for your show and drill team horse. Also, your Ride-a-Thon money is due on Tuesday as well. I don’t have totals for everyone but the 10 I do have is over $1300.00 and we still have 15 participants I don’t have pledge sheets from. We had 25 members attend the Ride-A-Thon, and remember the participant who has the most in pledge money will get a prize Tuesday donated by the Old Horseman. The highest pledge sheet I have received so far is $321.00.

Thanks,

Jessica Woods
