Thanks everyone for?the?great turnout?at our May meeting. ? ?We had 20 people attend to hear Pamela Smith talk about the structure of the hoof, the importance of balanced feet, and what to look for in a healthy, balanced foot. ? I think we all came away with a greater awareness of what to watch for in our horses, to assure they stay balanced and sound. ?It was a great slide presentation, speach, and even bones to look at.
Prior to the presentation we briefly discussed a few business items:
Kelly Cecil is a trainer that works with natural horsemanship methods?for groundwork and riding. ?We would like to schedule a clinic with Kelly for anyone interested in learning to?build a stronger bond, gaining a?better understanding of?how to ?speak? to our horses, and how to get the most out of our time with them. ??Spots?will be?limited to 6 horses, which will be reserved on a first come first reserved basis. ?We don?t have an exact price, or time yet, but I need to know how many people think they would be interested in such a clinic.??I?ve watched?Kelly work and interact with horses and I?ve seen the results, and I am totally?in awe of what can be?accomplished when you learn to speak their language.? I?d like to schedule something in July, so please send me an email, if you?re interested. ?I will let everyone know, as soon as we get the time and cost worked out. ?At this point, I?d like to know if there is enough interest to proceed with planning a special clinic for the chapter.? We will also allow auditing the clinic, if all spots fill, or you choose not to bring your horse.? Let me know if you would prefer to?audit, or participate with your horse.
Don?t Forget??The Ride-a-Test is scheduled for July 7. ?If you have time to volunteer, please contact Jane Baer at englishrose@embarqmail.com. ?I?m attaching the entry form again, for anyone still planning to sign up to ride.
We discussed having a trail clinic at Clover Valley this summer. ?More information to follow.
Clover Valley is hosting a Tack Sale on Saturday, June 23 from 8 to 4. ?Cost for a table is $5. ?Please contact Myla Natvig at 503-260-9425, to reserve a spot. ?The sale will be advertised via local media. ?Their previous sale was a huge success for everyone that participated, so this is a good opportunity to sell things you no longer need, or to pick up things you may need.
Clover Valley is considering bringing Debbie Spence for a dressage clinic. ?Because Debbie travels from Washington there needs to be a commitment for 18 rides over a Saturday and Sunday. ?Anyone ?interested in riding with Debbie, please send me an email, so we can get a headcount of those interested.
Our next meeting is Monday, June 11, at Clover Valley Equestrian Center starting at 7. ?This will be a business meeting to finalize plans for the Ride-a-Test, and to complete the events calendar for the year.? Please bring your ideas for clinics, speakers, or events that you would like to see happen.
Don?t forget to send me a message if you?re interested in the Kelly natural horsemanship clinic, or the Debbie Spence dressage clinic.
Hope to see you at the June meeting,
Sharon
