Please join us in the celebration of North America's First True Horse, the Colonial Spanish Horse. HOA is a unified registry open to Original Indian Horses, Barbs, Spanish Barbs & Spanish Mustangs. CS type horses from the wild may be registered by inspection. These include (but are not limited to): Sulphur, Kiger, Pryor Mountain, Cerbat, Mt. Taylor and Florida Cracker.
If you haven't made your plans for attending the Annual Meeting, you better get started. We are going to have a great meeting. We are planning a clinic on the Competitive Trail Riding. We have a couple members that are approved Judges for NATRC. As always, we will be have the conformation clinic, and if it works out, we will have some horses to inspect for registration. This is a great place for riding, so we are planning on time to trail ride.
Dr. Jerry and Kim Weil are handling the food. They will have breakfast on Saturday and Sunday for $4.00 per person. They plan to fix pancakes and sausage, fruit juice, scrambled eggs and ham, etc. If you were at the meeting in Texas, you know how good their food is. Lunch on both days will be ham, chicken salad, potato salad, pasta salad, chips, desert, etc., all home made and for only $6.00 a person. And of course, the coffee pot will be on. Friday evening's meal is a Pot Luck supper. Kim is making chicken soup, so bring something to help fill in the menu. The main course on Sat evening is as always on the HOA. Kim is talking about a smoked pork loin for us. Bring a side dish to go along with it.
Don't forget the HOA Auction after the dinner and meeting. Please bring something to contribute; horse related items are best. This is always a lot of fun, and we have had some great buys.
Check with the people at Eagle Ranch Trails about camping arrangements or cabins. The physical address is: 9040 Southeast Hwy J, Collins, MO 64738. Their phone is 417-275-1105 and their email address is info@eagleranchtrails.com The electric hook ups are limited. You will need to call and reserve your spot. They will be trying to keep us together. They have plenty of primitive camping spots. You can go to their website at Eagle Ranch Trails for more information. But you need to call for your reservation since this is a very popular place and fills up quickly. When you call, make sure you tell them you are with the HOA. They are holding some spaces for us.
This is the year for election of officers. The elected officers are the President and Vice President. Dianne Wolf is handling the nomination committee. If you're interested in running for an office, please contact her. Looking ahead, the 2010 HOA Meeting will be in Florida. Look for more information on that in the future.
See you in October,
Tom Norush
