President’s Notes: The 2005 Show season was again a
great success, and we have our marvelous and talented membership to thank for
making it a pleasure to hold. We pride
ourselves on our sportsmanship, and strive to maintain our atmosphere of having
a fun time while learning the ropes of showing.
We will continue to try to improve where we can in an ongoing effort to
serve our membership better! We value
your input!.

novice riders in their first or second year of showing, and for Hunters, first
or second year of showing over fences.
We are also offering two separate performance conformation classes, one
for the hunter ring and one for the pleasure ring. PLEASE check out the rule book carefully….
PRIZE LIST: The
prize list for the 2006 show season is attached….RESTRICTED DIVISIONS are in
RED. Please refer to the rule book to
determine if you meet qualifications for these divisions.
BANQUET: Our Banquet was successful, but we are
looking to change to format a bit due to the length and number of awards. More to follow later in the
season as we work that out.
PRIZES: If you did not receive your Year End Award,
please contact Smhahorseshow@aol.com
and let us know…we are aware of some who did not and plan on bringing them to
the first show. Please email anyway and
let us know for confirmation.
RIBBON SNAFU: We had a bit of a ribbon snafu at the
banquet…if you received the wrong ribbons ,or did not receive the right
ribbons, please contact Smhahorseshow@aol.com...we are
arranging to sort them to their proper owners….
RIBBON EXCHANGE: This year for the first time we will be
offering a ribbon exchange program. You
will be able to receive a coupon good for one SMHA dollar instead of a ribbon
for placement, to exchange for banquet tickets, additions to value of year end
prizes, “shopping” off
the SMHA shopping list at the end of the season, or money off of show
fees. If you prefer to cash them in that
day, YOU MUST present them to the office at the close of the day, and make sure
they are properly filled out for credit.
We will have a ribbon tent with ribbon staff for all three rings to
coordinate this….ribbons will not be handed out at the gate, but can be
obtained at the ribbon tent…
SPONSORSHIPS: Again we are soliciting as well for
sponsorships. As a sponsor your name or
business is listed in our show booklet and our banquet booklet, and is
announced with its division at every show.
Great publicity for your business or family!!
STALLS:
Stalls can be reserved by emailing Tlinesporthorses@aol.com. Stalls paid for completely in advance receive
a discounted rate…but only if they are paid for PRIOR to the beginning of the
show season…
