Howdy Members,
Our anniversary ride was fun, we had 6 wagons and about 35 riders. It was a beautiful day and a good time to get together for a ride and some fellowship with friends and families. A big thank you goes out to Brad and Denise for their hospitality at our lunch stop. Thank you to Danny and Sandy Friesenhahn for hosting us for our break at their place. Also, big thank you’ s to the lunch and dinner cooks, Mike & his crew. We had an awesome Band that played some good music for our dance!
Congratulations again to our 2023-2024 royal court who were formally “crowned” at the April meeting:
Queen: Shayna Bone Little Miss: Paislee Ervin Mascot: Dylan Bone
A big thank you to Taylor for coordinating and overseeing the crowning of the new court. Again, a big THANK YOU to our former court, ya’ll did an amazing job!!!
We had a good turnout for our Easter Egg Hunt, on Sunday March 26th. The Easter Bunny was hopping around and had a lot of pictures taken!!
Scholarships
Completed scholarship applications were turned in at the April meeting. Good luck to all the applicants, thanks again to chairwoman Kelly Murray and all the scholarship committee members for all your hard work. Winners will be announced at the May meeting.
Nomination of Officers
It is that time of year again, and nominations for your club officers were held at the April meeting. I would like to thank all the members, my family, friends, and officers who have supported me these past years in our endeavors. I truly hope that our new leaders will keep in mind our youth and utilize our facilities to help just as the founding fathers had in mind many years ago. Elections will be at the May meeting, and they will take over at the June meeting. Good luck to all.

We have two more playdays scheduled. The dates are April 22, and May 20th. Remember it is never too late to become a sponsor. We can use buckle and tack sponsors. If you know of someone that may be interested, contact me or an officer. Please remember that these are for ALL riders, experienced or not. We encourage all novice horseback riders to participate. This is a great place to learn with plenty of experienced riders to give you pointers. Also, there is a cake walk, so please bring cakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies etc.
Don’t forget next months’ meeting is the ELECTION for new officers!
We will have a dance in May!!!! Check our website for more details.
We will be having a workday every Wednesday in April – Come join the fun, we will be trimming limbs, painting, installing speakers for the sound system. Please call Craig with any questions
